On November 26 and 27, Chinese Communist Forces (CCF) attacked the U.S. troops, pushing them through the towns of Ung-dong and Yongsan-dong, and on to Yongbyon, where they were given orders to establish new defensive lines. Private Glenford Buckalew entered the U.S. Army from New York and was a member of F Company, 2nd Battalion, 35th Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division. He was killed in the action near Sodochon, North Korea, on November 28, though details surrounding his loss are unknown. His remains were not identified among those returned to U.S. custody after the ceasefire, and he is still unaccounted-for. Today, Private Buckalew is memorialized on the Courts of the Missing at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.
