The British Army general responsible for helping to maintain the peace in the demilitarised zone between North and South Korea has revealed how he believed war would break out on two occasions.

Lieutenant General Andrew Harrison, the Deputy Commander of United Nations Command, said: "So twice during my year and a half, I have genuinely thought 'wow we are going to war'."

The US-led UNC operates to secure a lasting peace on the Korean peninsula by enforcing the 1953 Armistice Agreement which was designed to ensure the complete cessation of hostilities.
