This T-34-85 was one of only an estimated 45 tanks shared by the 16th and 17th Armoured Brigades at the time of the NKPA’s invasion of South Korea on June 25, 1950. The Soviet-supplied T-34-85s, numbering 258 in total, were in the vanguard of the invasion, and they initially swept all before them. The tide was eventually turned in September, 1950, by a combination of superior UN air power and the arrival of US Marine Corps M26 Pershing tanks in-theatre. This particular T-34-85 was almost certainly assigned to the 16th’s Brigade or Regimental commander, as it was numbered 800 – tanks with turret numbers ending in 00 were typically assigned to command crews. The tank was one of a number knocked out in the fighting along the banks of the Naktong River on September 4, 1950.
