Sorry for the late reply to this but I have been reading up on the Turks and preparing a future posting on them. From what I have read so far much like many US units some Turk unit withdrew others fought. Their early battles against the Chinese in North Korea were especially ugly.

Overall though they proved to be a steady and brave fighting force that got better as the war progressed and they gained more combat experience.

What doesn't help determine the Turks performance is the blatant propaganda put out about their performance by Turkish veterans groups and their government that I have read on the internet that totally conflicts with written histories. The Turks had their ups and downs but overall fought very well which should be enough to be proud of without inventing things.

I am unsure if you have already mentioned this but Halberstams last book on Korea is out. “The Coldest Winter” is a rather lengthy tome but fascinating nonetheless..I know about all the battles, of course, but I was most interested in the political machinations, both civilian and military.
In Ferhenbachs book he talks about the bravery of the Turkish Brigade but Halberstam says many deserted their posts. What is your opinion on the Turks?
