Tommy Clough, who is registered blind and lives alone in Staverton near Gloucester, had been hoping to mark his 90th birthday along with the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Imjin River in Korea in which he saw active service. A gunner with 170 Mortar Battery attached to the 1st Battalion The Gloucestershire Regiment, Tommy was part of a United Nations force despatched to Korea in 1950 when the Communist North Koreans invaded South Korea without warning, themselves bolstered by tens of thousands from the Chinese Communist Army.
