This facility was used to cremate the bodies of UN soldiers who died in the battles of the Western Corridor. Part of the facility, some ten meters high and built with stone and cement, remain in the woods. The site is important as the only remaining crematorium of the Korean War. It has also been acknowledged for its value as evidence and a living relic of the UN forces’ participation in the Korean War, and was designated ‘Registered Cultural Property No. 407’ by the ROK government on October 1, 2008. The Yeoncheon region in Gyeonggi-do was the site of the hard-fought battles at White Horse, the Iron Triangle and elsewhere, resulting in numerous UN casualties. The Western Corridor witnessed fierce combat, creating the need to build a separate cremation facility for the countless bodies of the UN forces in the area. The UN Command built it in 1952 and used it until just before the ceasefire.
