In support of the United Nations Command, Luxembourg sent 110 troops to fight in Korea. Of these, two were killed and 17 were wounded. Luxembourg decided to ally with the Belgians and form 1st Platoon A Company, and with the Belgians arrived in Korea on 31 January 1951. Many Luxembourgers decided to join the Belgian Volunteer Corps for Korea.[1] Luxembourg would fight at Imjin River, Haktang-ni, and Chatkol. Luxembourg contributed a 44-man rifle regiment called the Royal Luxembourg Regiment. The Luxembourgers left Korea in January 1953 (The Belgian Volunteer Corps did not leave Korea until the end of the war.)[2]
