October 5

The 1st Cavalry Division advanced north of Seoul to secure the U.S. I Corps 
assembly area north of the Imjin River.  In mid-afternoon, I Company, 5th 
Cavalry Regiment, crossed the Imjim River at Munsan-ni.  During the day, 
the 27th Commonwealth Brigade began moving by air from Kumch'on to Kimpo 
and from there on to the I Corps assembly area near the 38th Parallel.

Meanwhile, at I Corps, the order went out to cross into North Korea and 
begin the attack toward P'yongyang as soon as the 1st Cavalry Division was 
ready.

On the east coast, ROK I Corps units continued their advance toward Wonsan.
