In December 1950, some 100,000 UN troops were trapped in the North Korean port of Hungnam. They had been overwhelmed 
by Chinese forces in what became known as the Battle of Chosin, and were lucky to make it out of the mountains alive.

there was only one way to get to safety. By sea. And they had very little time to do it: the Chinese were closing in.

not alone. Thousands of North Korean refugees had also fled to the freezing beach. Many had walked miles through deep 
snow with young children in the hope of being saved.

military does come first."
