The extent of the damage caused by the summer floods can be seen below.

Repairs were delayed until the spring and these pictures reflect the amazing effort of the civilian construction company and the officers and soldiers of 25 ROK Army Division for enabling us to carry on with this year's commemorations.

This year's ceremony culminated in the naming of the new bridge located at the Gloster Memorial Site

A simple naming ceremony was conducted by the British Ambassador, the Mayor of Paju City, the Commanding General 25 ROK Army Division and the Chairman of the United Nations Korean War Allies Association.

The bridge itself was simply named "Gloster Bridge"

The Defence Section would like to take this opportunity to pass on our sincere thank to all those involved with the reconstruction of the Gloster Memorial site.  Thank you.
