This POW exchange was either Operation Little Switch or Operation Big Switch. 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.
