It's not always fighting and battles and military maneuvers in the dioramas at the War Memorial of Korea. Ok, war may be the theme and the subject is some sort of corollary of war. Collateral image?
Big meeting. Left to right, general Douglas MacArthur, Korean President Syngman Rhee and U.S. Ambassador John Muccio. "Whose deal is it?"
Treaty signing day. You can tell who has had enough fighting by the amount of hair on their heads.
General MacArthur receiving the UN flag or fighting over a giant kebab stick.
Touching burial. Nancy Humerstone fought to be buried with her officer husband John in a military cemetery. She won. Peacekeeping, sand bagged.
The big, post-war clean up and scavenging. Impressive effort. Fifty years later, an economic juggernaut, Gangnam style.
