Description

Hook feature. Chinese soldiers silhouetted on the skyline shortly after the ceasefire. Photograph taken from the Australian positions that after peaceful encouragement some of the Chinese approached and swapped souvenirs. In the centre and low to the ground is what appears to be an optical rangefinder or bazooka type rocket launcher. The flag is a green 'peace' flag that was exchanged with Australian soldiers. 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.
