The people of South Korea erected a monument in Chuncheon, Republic of Korea, to honor the sacrifice paid by Ethiopian troops during the Korean War. They also established a memorial hall which highlights the history of the Ethiopian troops by displaying uniforms, weapons, artwork, and cultural artifacts. A Korean blog titled Holiday Journal has more information. Over the years, the ROK government has graciously invited many Ethiopian veterans to visit the site. So if you find yourself in Chuncheon-town be sure to stop by the monument and memorial hall.
