Description

Douglas (Doug) Bushby being presented with a bunch flowers by a North Korean prisoner of war (POW) and probably a POW chaplain. Mr Bushby, a UN accredited War Correspondend and devout Christian, accepted an invitation from US Army Chaplain Harold Voelkel to accompany him on a visit to the Nonsam POW Camp where he ministered to the North Korean POWs. During this visit Bushby preached to the POW congregation. Bushby, an Australian UN accredited War Correspondent and devout Christian, committed much of his time to relief and missionary work amongst Korean refugees, orphans and North Korean and Chinese prisoners of war.
