    Penguin Lighter, Korea

    This was given to me maybe 30 years ago. I thought I'd share some photos. Would like to know what the map details mean on the back of the lighter.

          Can anyone comment about the map on the back of the lighter? And, do the dates have any significance?

            There was chor won, and there was the chor won valley....the chor won valley was held by the second and third divisions, and others....but gave support to front line troops through artillery directed at coordinates radioed in from infantry. There was also a battle at chor won.....this might tell you more.( nice lighter)
