Henry "Harry" Joseph Gallagher, 31 December 1914 – 25 August 1988, was awarded the DCM for his gallantry during the epic defence of Castle Hill on the Imjin River, during the Korean War. ==Early life== Born in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, Harry Gallagher, the third of nine children of Henry and Elizabeth Gallagher, was educated at Sacred Heart RC School. Finding himself unemployed in the depressed conditions of the city in the 1930s he joined the Gloucesters at the age of 18. During a career that spanned a quarter of a century he saw active duty in North Africa and then, at the start of the Second World War, as part of the British troops defending the Maginot Line in France. He was subsequently taken prisoner by the Germans whilst covering the retreat of the armed forces at Dunkirk. Despite two escape attempts he was held as a prisoner of war for four years.
