I think I have to agree with Stuart.  The Imjin River engagement (on what we
now call Gloucester Hill) was part of the CCF offensive and is an example of
a tactical battle having an operational (if not strategic) result (if the
CCF had captured Uijongbu the effect could have been devastating for EUSA
and the UNC).  I would not relegate it to a "lesser page" of engagements
(though since we have not seen the entire project none of us are qualified
to really judge it.  Just my 2 cents worth.
