The 43rd Infantry Division was a military formation of the Korean People's Army.
Defended the Yesong River crossing and the coastal area beyond the river, west of the Kaesong/Kumchon line.
The 1st Cavalry Division's 7th Cavalry Regiment traversed the Yesong River and advanced north on the road from Paekchon to the small town of Hanpo-ri, six miles north of Kumchon, where the main Pyongyang road crossed the Yesong River, and established a blocking position.
Famous quotes containing the word division:
“Major [William] McKinley visited me. He is on a stumping tour.... I criticized the bloody-shirt course of the canvass. It seems to me to be bad “politics,” and of no use.... It is a stale issue. An increasing number of people are interested in good relations with the South.... Two ways are open to succeed in the South: 1. A division of the white voters. 2. Education of the ignorant. Bloody-shirt utterances prevent division.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
