Major's VC raid
KOREA
MAJOR Kenneth Muir died a hero in Korea. An air strike accidentally attacked two companies of the 1st Battalion The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders on September 23, 1950.
To allow casualties to be evacuated, Major Muir, 38, led 30 men against an enemy-held hill. He fought on, even when mortally wounded, and was posthumously awarded the VC.
