Badges worn by members of 1, 2, 3, and 4 Turkish Brigades, (each force made up of three battalions, totalling approximately 5000 men per brigade) which served as part of the United Nations force in Korea from November 1950 onwards, attached to the US 8th Army. The brigades suffered more than 3000 casualties during the war. 1 Brigade served in Korea from November 1950 until September 1951. They were then replaced by 2 Brigade, whose service lasted until August 1952.
