Description
Compound A shower room at Nonsan prisoner of war (POW) camp, which housed North Korean POWs. The arches on either side of the ornately embellished facade have signs reading 'Kitchen Entrance' (left) and another reading 'Feeding Point entrance' (right). The barbed wire perimeter fence is close by at right and prisoners are standing outside their barracks at far left. 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.
