North Korean T-34/85s which were knocked-out during the “Battle of the Bowling Alley” North of Taegu during the Korean War - August 1950

Most of these T-34s were knocked out by M26 Pershings of the US 73rd Tank Battalion which was operating in support of the 27th Infantry Regiment.

This Action took place starting on the night of August 27, 1950, after two days of action thirteen T34-85s and five SU-76Ms with the 107th Tank Regiment NKPA were knocked-out.

As a result of this action, a Distinguished Unit Citation was awarded to;
27th Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division, and the following attached units:
8th Field Artillery Battalion (less C Battery)
37th Field Artillery Battalion (less A Battery)
Company C, 65th Engineer Battalion
Company C, 73d Tank Battalion
5th Air Force Tactical Air Control Party

The Citation mentions;
“Throughout the 74-hour period, the enemy attacked with fanatical fury, yet in the face of these screaming "banzai" charges the men of the 27th Infantry Regiment bravely and cooly held their fire until the enemy closed, and then literally blasted them into annihilation. Infiltration and flanking attacks carried to the regimental command post and rear echelon positions; all personnel, became engaged in the action. The entire command, involved in close combat, displayed indomitable courage in stopping the many fanatical charges and denying the enemy an important terrain corridor leading to Taegu.“

Thanks to José-Daniel Cabanilles for his assistance
