Description

Informal portrait of North Korean prisoners of war (POWs) lined up for the camera outside a barracks building at Nonsan POW camp. Some of the men are holding bibles and blankets probably donated by the Korean Bible Society. This photograph is one of a series taken by the Australian Mr Douglas (Doug) Bushby in his capacity as a UN accredited War Correspondent. Mr Bushby devoted much of his time to relief and missionary work amongst Korean refugees, orphans and North Korean and Chinese prisoners of war.
