Holy Sepulchre Church commemorated the 70th anniversary of the end of the Korean War with the premier of a new film documenting the remarkable stories of its veterans. Created by Martin Bisiker of Legasee, the film explored the experiences of three surviving veterans, seventy years on from their service at the 38th parallel. All three veterans' stories can be viewed in the archive. Holy Sepulchre church, which is home to the Memorial Chapel of the Royal Fusiliers, hosts an annual service in remembrance of the end of the Korean War every June. This year the documentary film, premiered prior to the service and film legend Sir Michael Caine, himself a former Fusilier, attended. Thirty-Seven Royal Fusiliers fell in the Korean War between 1952 and 1953 and many others were wounded, leaving a lasting legacy for the City of London. Over 1,000 British servicemen were killed in total, with many more captured and wounded. Click below to view photographs from the event.
