Description
Smiling North Korean prisoners of war (POWs) watching a sporting event 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. The jagged black object at top right is irreparable damage in the original film.
