Although he was demobilized at the end of the Second World War, he rejoined the armed forces in 1948 and served as an armourer until 1971, retiring as a warrant officer. In this testimony, Patterson recounts his service in the Korean War, describing the weather and mountainous terrain, his work as an armourer, a brush with a North Korean spy and the death of a young lieutenant.
