The hill designated Hill 235 during the Korean War is remembered as Gloster Hill because of the actions of the Gloucestershire Regiment (the Glorious Glosters) in following their orders to "Hold on where you are" during the Battle of the Imjin River1951.

Hill was one of seven children born to David Leander and Karen (Andrews) Hill.
Hill was the consummate student at Hamma for in addition to his curriculum of Church History, theology, philosophy and homiletics, he acquired mastery of several languages including Hebrew, both ancient and modern Greek, Latin, German, Spanish, French and even Sanskrit.
Hill was the first person to translate Amo’s work from Latin into English; he additionally provided the first commentary on the philosophical substance of Amo’s thesis.
Nine Glosters who had been captured during the Chinese attack on the battalion's supply point the day before and who had been taken off to Hill 675 in the gap escaped their captors during an early morning air strike (Mustangs dropping napalm) and reached the 29th Brigade command post.
The Glosters were dug in by 2100, Company A on the northwest and west, Company C and the remnants of Company B on the south and southeast, and Company D on the north and northeast.
All Glosters, in any case, would now be entirely on their own since, just as they began their withdrawal, Carne received word from brigade headquarters- the last his feeble radio would pick up- that the 45th Field Regiment was under too heavy fire to provide support.
