Punchbowl Battle Monument

This battle monument is a stele established on March 15, 1958 by the Republic of Korea Army 3rd Corps, with a base of 1.75m and a body of 2.1m. To secure the coastal basin known as the 'Punchbowl,' fierce battles took place from August 29 to October 30, 1951 in the areas of Seohwa-ri, Gachilbong, Bloody Ridge, Hill 1211, and the unnamed hill. The monument was erected to honor the souls of the soldiers who died in this battle. At the time, the ROK 3rd and 5th Divisions, the 1st Marine Regiment, and US forces occupied the Punchbowl and key hills after fierce offense and defense against the North Korean People's Army.
