General Walton Walker
Walker was commanded by MacArthur to continue fighting and that he did not have the option of retreating. Once Walker reached the Nakdong river, he was able to shift the North Koreans from advancing before they were able to get more reinforcements. General Walton Walker was able to get intercepted radio messages which then allowed him to control the artillery and the air power. When the reinforcements arrived, the advantage moved to the South Koreans and the Americans. In December 1950, Walker died due to a crash between his command jeep and a civilian truck.
