70^th Anniversary of the Battle of the Imjin - Live-streamed only

Sunday 25 April 1.00pm

Join us on-line for a special live-streamed event on Sunday 25 April at 1pm. The Right Reverend Rachel Treweek, Bishop of Gloucester,  will lead a short private service in the Memorial Chapel that will commemorate the lives of the men who were killed in the Korean War. This weekend marks the 70th anniversary of the Battle of the Imjin when soldiers from the Gloucestershire Regiment fought beside comrades within 29^th Independent Brigade and the United Nations. As the Glosters were progressively cut-off they remained an effective fighting unit in the face of almost continual onslaughts from an invading army. 

The service is the first in a series of events across the summer that will commemorate the battle and celebrate the ensuing friendship between our two countries.

Due to the current Covid-19 restrictions, this service is now Live-stream only. If you would like to participate online please click here.
