About this listen

 In March 1952, the 1st Marine Division made a strategic redeployment from the East-Central front to the vital West Korea sector. Stretching nearly 35 miles, this area anchored the far western end of I Corps, playing a crucial role in the Eighth Armys defensive line. Here, the Marines stood firm against the enemys attempts to advance toward Seoul, the South Korean capital. Just northwest of their Main Line of Resistance, a mere five miles away, lay Panmunjom, where sporadic truce negotiations unfolded. - Summary by L. F. Chapman, Jr.Copyright War & Military Stories
