=== Background ===
Following the outbreak of the [[Korean War]], the [[27th British Commonwealth Brigade]], which was the initial parent formation of Commonwealth army units in Korea, arrived in the peninsula with two British Infantry battalions in August 1950. It was reinforced by the [[3rd Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment]] (3 RAR) in September, and by the 2nd Battalion, [[Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry]] (PPCLI), in February 1951.

The brigade was subsequently re-constituted as the [[28th Infantry Brigade (United Kingdom)#28 Commonwealth Brigade|28th Commonwealth Brigade]] in April 1951. Meanwhile, in November 1950, the brigade was joined by the [[29th Infantry Brigade (United Kingdom)#Korean War|29th Independent Infantry Brigade]], and in May 1951 by the [[25th Canadian Infantry Brigade]].<ref>Grey 1988, pp. 68–87.</ref>
