South Korea, Australia Launch Joint Excavation Project for Missing Korean War Soldier

South Korea and Australia will begin a monthlong joint excavation project next week to recover the remains of Cpl. William Murphy, an Australian soldier missing since fighting in the Korean War. The project runs from Monday through May 22 in Gapyeong County, involving 14 officials and dozens of troops from both countries. Murphy was part of the 27th Commonwealth Brigade that fought in a key battle in Gapyeong in April 1951. The project marks the 75th anniversary of the battle.
