The Korean War started on 25 June 1950, and fighting raged until an armistice was signed on 27 July 1953. More than 26,000 Canadians served on land, at sea and in the air during this bitter conflict. Sadly, 516 Canadians died, approximately 1,200 wounded, 32 Prisoners of War (all of whom returned home), and 16 missing in action.

Long seen as a forgotten war, the Korean War is now recognized as an important chapter in Canada's military history.

Visit the “Canada and the Korean War” exhibit at the Canadian Embassy in Washington, D.C. for reflections of Canada’s role in this conflict. Open Monday-Friday, 9am to 5pm, free of charge.
