Belgium Korean War Medal 1950 1953 with Clasps Korea-Coree & Haktang Ni by Demart

BELGIUM: Commemorative Military Medal for 
the participation in the Operations during the 
Korean War, under the UN mandate. 
Signed "J. Demart51".
With 2 bars: "Korea" in French and Flemish 
and "Haktang-Ni". 
The "Haktang-Ni" bar has been awarded to the 
560 men of the Belgian Battalion under the 
Command of Lt. Colonel Norbert Cools who 
took up position on the isolated hillside of 
Haktang-Ni suffered relentless Chinese attacks 
which they successfully repelled, killing over 
100 Chinese and losing only a 10 of their own 
men.
The Battle was fought on 09–13 Oct. 
1951 and it is also known as Battle of Broken 
Arrow Hill or Battle of the Hill 391.
The clasp is scarce.
The medal was established in 1951 and the design 
of its reverse side was later used as well for the 
UN respective Commemorative Medal which was 
issued to the members of the Belgian Contingent.
A rare decoration (less than 3.500 medals were 
awarded in total) with even rarer bars.
