A spokesman from the Ipswich branch of the British Korean Veterans Association said: “The branch is most grateful to Ipswich Borough Council which gave its support and much help with this project.
“It is very necessary to us because we are so few in numbers now.
“The Korean War has bee over 60 years ago – many are now in their 80s – so it is important to remember their efforts.”
