Philippine Forces Korean War Memorial

The Philippine Expeditionary Forces Memorial is a monument erected in 1974 by the Ministry of National Defense to comfort the souls of those who died defending Korea's freedom during the Korean War and to pass on their meaning to future generations. The Philippines was the first Asian country to send troops to Korea, dispatching more than 1,000 soldiers, and the third country after the United States and the United Kingdom to send ground forces. It entered the war on September 19, 1950, achieved many successes, and continued to provide extensive support for Korea's reconstruction after the armistice. The monument reflects the pursuit of freedom and peace for the Korean people, and the relief on the front of the monument expresses the Philippines' own folk culture.
