Korean War veterans honoured at Busan monument

From ABC Radio Australia: Korean War veterans honoured at Busan monument
A veteran of the Korean war says sixty years after the war's major battles, Australian servicemen and women are finally getting their recognition.

The 17 000 Australian sailors, soldiers, airmen and nurses have been honoured today at the dedication of a monument in Busan, South Korea.

There's also been a special commemorative ceremony for the 43 Australian servicemen listed as missing in action.

Australia fought with American-led UN forces defending the South against an invasion by the Chinese-backed communist North.

Korea is often described as the Forgotten War, coming as it did between the allied victories of the Second World War and the quagmire of Vietnam.

Ken Barnett is one of the seven veterans who's in South Korea to take part in the 60th anniversary commemorations.
