The 1st Infantry Division is a military formation of the Korean People's Army.

It was part of the North Korean advance from Seoul to Taejon.

The division fought in the Battle of Pusan Perimeter.[1]

The intelligence section of U.S Far East Command headquarters listed the divisions order of battle as a 31 July 1952 as follows[2]:

  • 2nd Regiment
  • 3rd Regiment
  • 14th Regiment
  • Artillery Regiment

This same report listed the 1st Division as being in III Corps Reserve at the same time period[3].
