18. INDIA
The Republic of India participated in the Korean War from December 1950 to 1953. During the war, the Indian medical unit gained the respect of Commonwealth soldiers for its high-quality medical care and the courage of its soldiers under fire. Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru sent the 60th Field Hospital as a support unit.
In total, India deployed 627 medical soldiers during the war and a 5,000-strong Custodian Force to mediate the repatriation of the prisoners of war after the ceasefire (July 27, 1953) for a year.
The Korean War Memorial is being planned to be constructed in New Delhi.
