For 18 months, the 1st Cavalry Division marched up and down the Korean Peninsula. They sailed from Tokyo to Pohang-dong before fighting their way south to Pusan. Beginning as raw recruits fighting a pitched battle at Pusan all the way to veteran troops marching in Pyongyang, the 1st Cavalry Division fought some of the toughest battles of the Korean War. The division was the cornerstone of UN strategic power during the opening days of the war.
