 Of the heavy losses in artillery personnel and weapons which the inexperienced 8th Division suffered in succeeding engagements at the hands of UN artillery and aircraft, the damage inflicted by an air attack during the battle of Sindok-tong on August 9, was by far the most severe.In that attack the division lost eight 76mm guns, four 122mm howitzers and 12 trucks.A partial compensation occurred soon thereafter, when the unit received six 76mm guns, four 122mm howitzers, four trucks and about 50 replacements.
