Welcome to the website of the Anglo-Korean Society.

The Society was founded in 1956 to foster friendship between the UK and the Republic of Korea, and its primary objective is to bring together all those in the UK who are interested in Korean matters.

The Society provides opportunities for contacts between British nationals and Koreans living in Britain, and acts as a forum for social and cultural exchange in an environment of friendship and understanding.

Appeal from the Soldiers of Gloucestershire Museum

The 60th Anniversary of the Battle of Imjin, Korea is in April 2011 where The Gloucestershire Regiment as part of 29 Brigade fought with great distinction. To commemorate the occasion the Soldiers of Gloucestershire Museum in Gloucester will produce a new Imjin Exhibition.

Please help us to create an exhibition worthy of the men who took part in the battle. Many lost their lives and hundreds were held captive for over 2 years.

To learn more about the Soldiers of Gloucestershire and to donate to this appeal visit our website: www.glosters.org.uk/news/56

Many have donated already leaving their name and a message. We really do need your help to support this worthwhile venture. Thank you.
