On 23 February 1951, an American unit relieved the 1st Battalion The Royal Ulster Rifles from its position on the hills overlooking the River Han.
Being in reserve, the Battalion went southwards to billets in a village near Osan where it remained for nearly two weeks. Training, with particular emphasis on patrolling, took priority as the main activity because intelligence sources at the time believed that the Chinese were about to cross the river southwards in order to outflank Seoul.
