The crossing of the Imjin river during the CCF Spring offensive, 22 to 29 April, 1951 was the single largest action of the war. Over 270,000 Nk troops and several tank divisions were staged to decend upon the hapless UN forces. Those first to receive the attack was the British 29th Brigade under the command of Tom Brody. His 4,000 men were essentially on-point when the Offensive began. They fell back to a position within the Factory complex. They had only 16 Howitzers to strike back at 150 Tanks. A few light ships made their way through the delta to the Causway and did take out some tank groups. Though reinforcements were quickly called-up and were already enroute, they did not arrive in time to save the 29th.
