The Battle of Outpost Harry, Korea, June 10-18 1953 (http://ace.mu.nu/archives/330176.php#330176)

Hold at all costs.

Three remote hills 60 miles north of Seoul. Tom, Dick and Harry. Five rifle companies, four American and one Greek, about 700 in total held the line against a full division of CCF (Communist Chinese Forces) supported with artillery.

A division is 13 to 15 thousand soldiers. Those were twenty to one odds.

Bless you all who persevered.
