August 24, 1950

The final attack in the Bowling Alley against 27th Infantry positions took 
place shortly after midnight and was again repulsed with heavy enemy 
loses.  Later in the day the 27th Infantry was relieved by 1st ROK Division 
forces and ordered back to 25th Division control at Masan.  Meanwhile the 
23rd Infantry finished cleaning out enemy pockets on the ridge.  The battle 
of the Bowling Alley was over.

Enemy action in other sectors was reduced to patrol actions as the North 
Koreans regrouped.
