“We knew there was going to be sacrifice. But this sacrifice was not for nothing. It was for peace and liberty. My friends, they gave their lives for history and for the freedom of human beings…. In America, young people are going to forget the Korean War…”-Melesse Tessema, Kagnew Battalions veteran

Back when the Horn of Africa country of Ethiopia was still ruled by a monarchy, and having survived the Italian occupation during the Second World War, they decided it would be fun to join the new United Nations (UN) in its ‘police action’ in the divided East Asian country of Korea.

The Ethiopian troops sent to Korea were called the Kagnew Battalions.  It was the first time Ethiopians were involved in combat outside of their country.  It was also the first time Ethiopian soldiers encountered snow and ice: “I remember the snow and the cold. We were really suffering in the war because of the cold.”-Asfaw Abebe, Kagnew Battalions veteran

Apparently, of all the UN allied nations volunteering to go to Korea, Ethiopia was the first (besides the U.S.) to send complete battalion sized elements.  However, they were equipped with ‘new’ U.S. (World War Two surplus) weapons and vehicles: “We went with Americans to the front line and fought together. From that, we helped a great nation, Korea, to survive…. When you went on patrol, you depended on (U.S.) support for artillery and air support…. The longest fight I saw was Triangle Hill, almost a month we were fighting on that one, you could see bodies rolling down to the bottom. A great fight was done there. We fought continuously day and night.”-Yilma Belachew, Kagnew Battalions veteran

During that ‘police action’ all UN allied vehicles were marked with white stars, U.S. style.  U.S. Army silent film, by Sergeant T. Lau, showing Kagnew Battalions inspecting their U.S. taxpayer funded jeeps, August 1951:

According to United Kingdom sources, more than 3-thousand Ethiopians went to Korea, more than 120 were killed, more than 5-hundred were wounded.

This Arirang News video report says the actual number of Ethiopians who fought in Korea is 6-thousand (despite the official number being accepted as 3,520), and that South Korea is sending taxpayer funding to help build infrastructure projects in Ethiopia:

Even communist North Korea does business with Ethiopia, yearly exports hit 15-million U.S. dollars worth in 2012!

Korean news sources say the Ethiopians began arriving in April 1951. They took part in 236 battles and claimed victory in every one. They ended the war without one Ethiopian becoming a PoW (prisoner of war).
