CHOSIN RESERVOIR: Hand-to-Hand Combat in the MOST BRUTAL Fight of Korea | Pat Finn

Patrick Finn lied about his age and enlisted in the United States Marine Corps Reserve at 15 years old. He served until he was 18 years old and was ready to return to civilian life, when a sudden change of heart prompted him to re-enlist. The following year he found himself in one of the fiercest battles of the Korean War - the Battle of Chosin Reservoir. Attached to Item Co, 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines Finn found himself heading North through the Korean Peninsula thinking the war was all but over. The men eventually arrived at a desolate, frozen lake known as the "Chosin Reservoir". The Marines had no idea they had walked into a trap, surrounded by 120,000 Chinese troops. Finn engaged in hand-to-hand combat in a brutal fight for survival in conditions so cold, wounds simply froze. The battle of Chosin would see some of the most horrific fighting, in some of the most brutal conditions of the Korean War. The actions and bravery of the Marines would go down in lore. Those who survived would forever be known as the "Chosin Few".
