35 Platoon Charity Event

- On the 1st June, 35 Pl will attempt to Leopard Crawl a total of 64km.

- 64km distance represents the front held by British troops during the Korean War – later to be known as the Battle of the Imjin River.

- On the 22nd-25th April, 1951, the Royal Northumberland Fusiliers, The Gloucestershire Regiment and the Royal Ulster Rifles defended a 64km front, with over 300,000 attacking Chinese troops.

- The attack was part of the Chinese Spring Offensive to regain the initiative on the battlefield.

- Despite being incredibly outnumbered to the superior enemy, the British held its position for 3 days.

- From then on, this battle remains an important part of British Military tradition and history.

- This battle is where we obtained our Company name – ‘IMJIN.’

- The challenge will last for 24 hours and take place at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.
