In July 1950, Thailand was the first Asian nation to respond to the US call for allies in Korea.  The Thai Military played a key role in several battles of the war including the Third battle for Seoul, the Battle for Chatkol and the most famour of all the battle of Pork Chop Hill.  Pork Chop Hill was held by soldiers of the US 7th Infantry Division, the Thai 21st Infantry Battalion, and other units. They together repulsed attacks by the People's Volunteer Army (PVA). The Chinese made an all-out effort to capture the hill. Eventually, the UN forces withdrew from its heights. The Thai Army were awarded one legion of honour, 12 Silver Stars and 26 were awarded Bronze Star medals. The Thai unit earned the nickname "Little Tigers" for their valour.
