Re: Ethiopian Troops

You might also want to check out volume 6 of "The
History of United Nations Forces in the Korean War." 
This series was published by the Korean Ministry of
National Defense and volume 6 has a chapter devoted to
the Ethiopian forces.

According to this reference, the Ethiopian Battalion
was attached to the 32d Infantry Regiment of the 7th
Infantry Division as a fourth rifle battalion.
