Description
" Welcome Gate to Freedom" at Freedom Village, Munsan-ni.

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.
