On September 22 , 1950 , the Battalion of Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders moved up to attack Hill 282 near Songju . Starting before dawn on September 23 , B and C Companies after an hour ' s climb seized the crest of Hill 282 surprising there a North Korean force at breakfast . Across a saddle , and nearly a mile away to the southwest , higher Hill 388 dominated the one they had just occupied . C Company started toward it . But North Korean troops occupying this hill already were moving to attack the one just taken by the British . The North Koreans supported their attack with artillery and mortar fire , which began falling on the British . The action continued throughout the morning with North Korean fire increasing in intensity . Shortly before noon , with American artillery fire inexplicably withdrawn and the five supporting U . S . tanks unable to bring the North Koreans under fire because of terrain obstacles , the Argylls called for an air strike on the North Korean - held Hill 388 . Just after noon the Argylls heard the sound of approaching planes . Three P - 51 Mustang s circled Hill 282 where the British displayed their white recognition panels . The North Koreans on Hill 388 also displayed white panels . To his dismay , Captain Radcliff of the tactical air control party was unable to establish radio contact with the flight of P - 51 ' s . Suddenly , at 12 : 15 , the Mustangs attacked the wrong hill ; they dropped napalm bombs onto the Argylls position and also strafe d them with 50 calibre machine - gun fire . The terrible tragedy was over in two minutes and left the hilltop a sea of orange flame . Survivors plunged fifty feet down the slope to escape the burning napalm . Maj . Kenneth Muir , second in command of the Argylls , who had led an ammunition resupply and litter - bearing party to the crest before noon , watching the flames on the crest die down , noticed that a few wounded men still held a small area on top . Acting quickly , he assembled about thirty men and led them back up the hill before approaching North Koreans reached the top . There , two bursts of automatic fire mortally wounded him as he and Maj . A . I . Gordon - Ingram , B Company commander , fired a 2 - inch mortar . Muir ' s last words as he was carried from the hilltop were " The Gooks will never drive the Argylls off this hill " . But the situation was hopeless . Gordon - Ingram counted only ten men with him able to fight , and some of them were wounded . His three Bren gun s were nearly out of ammunition . At 15 : 00 the survivors were down at the foot of the hill . The next day a count showed 2 officers and 11 men killed , 4 officers and 70 men wounded , and 2 men missing for a total of 89 casualties ; of this number , the mistaken air attack caused approximately 60 .
