Memorial Month of June, unknown soldiers who died protecting Goyang
The Gyeongsang region, which started in 1950 and was linked to the North Korean War, the Unification Road and the Gyeongui Line, has been affected greatly.
In the Korean War that began in 1950, Goyang region experienced great damages as it connects to the north with Tong-il Road and Kyeongye Line.
With Kaesong at a close distance, the possession switched over many times with 1.4 Retreats and many residents suffered great damages.
Because it is close to Kaesong, and after 1.4 retreats, several owners changed, and many residents suffered great damage.
During this process, bodies of young and unknown warriors were scattered throughout Goyang City, buried in the forests under the trees without having found their parents.
In recent years, more than 20 bodies have been unearthed in the course of collecting the dead as a project of the Ministry of National Defense.
They are speculated to be the remains of the Korean army soldiers who lost their lives while fighting against the enemy who were marching from the direction of Paju Bogwang Temple toward Goyang-dong, Goyang-si.
Young soldiers who have not returned to their families for more than 60 years have been buried with guns, guns, and other items.
The remains of a number of soldiers who cannot be identified because they do not have the chains with military serial number .. The excavation will start the work to find their relatives.
Many of the soldiers who sacrificed for the country have not been unearthed in our city, and still seem to be asleep under the forest.
The remains have been unearthed in Gobong Mountain, Daeja Mountain, and Bakdal Mountain, and many more are expected to be discovered in the future.
In light of the memorial month of June, we told the story of the unknown fallen warriors of the Korean War.
