Description
Several hundred North Korean or Chinese prisoners of war (POWs) holding up bibles given to them by the Korean Bible Society. The barbed wire perimeter fence is just to the rear of the seated group. The POW camp is probably on Koje-do Island. 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.
