Historical background

• The Korean War was fought from June 25, 1950, to July 27, 1953, when an armistice agreement brought active fighting to an end, although no formal peace treaty was signed. 

• October 25 is commemorated in China as the date when the Chinese People’s Volunteers first entered the war in 1950, marking the beginning of China’s direct involvement.

• The date 1953.10.25 on this badge therefore marks the third anniversary of that entry, just a few months after the armistice, when delegations were visiting Korea to visit troops and celebrate the return to relative peace.
