It is 75 years since the start of the Korean War. The three-year conflict, which began on the 25th of June 1950, is estimated to have killed more than 3 million people. 18,000 Australians served as part of the UN forces, more than 350 losing their lives. A handful of surviving veterans bore witness at a special memorial in Canberra, to what is often viewed as "the forgotten war".
