Description
General Choi Duk Shin Commander of the Republic of Korea A Force, shaking hands with Douglas (Doug) Bushby. Bushby and two representatives of the Pocket Testament League met with General Choi in May 1953 to discuss the provision of aid for the Korean people. The Pocket Testament League representatives are probably Joseph Copeland and 'Uncle Win' of WATB-TV, New York. Mr 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.
