Description
Several hundred North Korean prisoners of war (POWs) watching what is probably a sporting event on a parade ground at Nonsan POW camp. Taken through the barbed wire perimeter fence, this is one of a series of photographs 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.
