6th Infantry Division (South Korea)

The 6th Infantry Division (Korean: 제6보병사단; Hanja: 第六步兵師團) is a military formation of the Republic of Korea Army.

It was part of the defensive line to slow the North Korean advance from Seoul to Taejon.

A reinforced reconnaissance platoon from the 7th Regiment entered Chosan the next morning and found the North Koreans retreating across the Yalu into China over a narrow floating footbridge.
