 Ultimately Chongju was the furthest north that  27th British Commonwealth Brigade was to penetrate.Walsh, by then an observer at US Eighth Army headquarters, was urgently posted to resume command of 3 RAR following Green's death, however he was relieved of his position by Coad just six days later in the wake of the Battle of Pakchon on 5 November that cost the battalion heavily, losing 12 killed and 64 wounded despite killing 200 PVA.The battalion second-in-command, Major Bruce Ferguson, subsequently assumed command.
