75Korea Challenge

As the 75th Anniversary of the Korean War approaches, the Ancre Somme Association Charity reflects upon the sacrifice made by those who served in the Korean War.

The Korean War started on the 25th June 1950 and lasted for three years. More than 100,000 British service personnel were involved with over 1000 never coming back, a further 2674 were wounded and 1060 reported missing or taken prisoner.

It is sometimes referred to as "The Forgotten War" or "The Unknown War" because of the lack of public attention it received. This is your opportunity to show the Korean War veterans that they have not been forgotten.

Walk, run, or cycle 75 Kilometres in May 2025 and raise £75 as part of our 75Korea Challenge.
