August 29, 1950

At dawn, "B" Company, 21st Infantry supported by a platoon of tanks from 
the 73rd Tank Battalion, counterattacks at P'ohang-dong and moves to a mile 
and half north of the town.  ROK Army troops take over the recaptured area 
and the small American task force moves back to P'ohang-dong.  Later in the 
day, supported by American tanks and air attacks, the ROK Capital Division 
regains the town of Kigye but loses it after dark to a strong enemy 
counterattack.

The British 27th Infantry Brigade consisting of Brigade Headquarters, the 
1st Battalion Middlesex Regiment and the 1st Battalion of the Argylls and 
Sutherland Highlanders Regiment, landed at Pusan and is immediately moved 
north to Kyongsan, 10 miles southeast of Taegu.
