The Greek Expeditionary Force, an infantry battalion and a Royal Hellenic Air Force flight of C-47 transports, arrived in Korea in early Dec 1950. The Greeks were soon into the fight At this time the PRC reaction to the UN invasion of PRK was still pressing the UN forces back towards the pre-war border, although the line was beginning to stabilise; and on 25 January the UN forces had commenced a limited offensive towards the Han River line. The "Sparta Battalion", 849 strong,, was integrated with the US Army's famous 7th Cavalry. On the freezing night of 29-30 January, the tough and war-hardened veterans, volunteers all, of the "Sparta" Battalion were dug in their sector around Hill 381,about 7km NW of Ichon.
