Veteran’s Day.

Thailand, under the direction of Prime Minister Field
Marshal Pibulsongkram, sent 1,294 men from the 21st Regiment to the
United Nations-mandated conflict from 1950-53. Four naval vessels and an
air transport left for the Korean Peninsula in October 1950.
A total of 136 Thais were killed in the Korean War:
130 from the Royal Thai Army, four from the Royal Thai Navy and two from
the Royal Thai Air Force.
