The memorial stands at the foot of Gloucester Hill beside the Seolmacheon stream.
There is a memorial garden on the east side of the stream containing a large sculpture of the Gloucester's beret, a set of life sized Gloucester soldiers patrolling away from the Imjin River and a memorial wall. The stream is crossed by Gloucester Bridge and a path leads round to a flight of steps that takes you to the memorial stones set into a wall built into the side of the hill.
Four plaques on the original memorial still show the crest of the United Nations, the badges of the Gloucestershire Regiment and of the Royal Artillery
This is a popular park for local Koreans. According to Lee In-jae, the mayor of Paju who raised money among local citizens to expand the park, "Freedom is not free – it is earned with blood".

We had a fabulous Time with great histories from Sookhee. That was one of our best day in Korea, Thank you so much again for This excellent tour!!!
One in a lifetime tour!
Published on Feb, 2025
Mr Young facilitated a smooth and comfortable tour to all the various stops (6! Way more than even expected) and kept us interested with his stories and humour. It’s a sensitive tour, but my family felt safe and well informed. Would highly recommend this specific tour as it was a smaller group and the weather was cool, meaning the tunnel and walking was manageable. Plus we finished with lots of time left in the day!
