South Korea Battlefield Tour - April 18th - 27th, 2026
PPCLI - Escorted from Edmonton, Alberta
While a civilian in post-war Vancouver, Major Levy maintained his military involvement by parading with the local militia regiment, the Irish Fusiliers of Canada. At the outbreak of the Korean War, Major Levy sold his restaurant and answered Ottawa's call in 1950 for a volunteer Canadian Army Special Force to assist in the United Nation's effort to push back the Communist invasion of South Korea.
The Battle of Kapyong
The 2nd Battalion arrived by troop ship in Pusan, South Korea in December 1950 and just two months later the Princess Patricia's were committed to battle as part of the 27th British Commonwealth Infantry Brigade.
In late April, the Patricia's and the then Lieutenant Levy, commanding 10 Platoon, found themselves in a defensive position controlling the hills along a strategic section of the Kapyong river valley.
On April 21 the North Koreans aided by the 60th Chinese Infantry Division, employing some 600,000 soldiers, launched a massive offensive thrust against American and UN troops with the objective of breaking through allied lines and capturing the South Korean capital city of Seoul.
The evening of April 25, 1951 heralded the start of what many military historians have characterized as "Canada's most memorable battle of the Korean War" – it has become known simply as KAPYONG, and Major Levy's pivotal role in the outcome of this historic battle has become legendary.
