Description
The Korean Service Corps (KSC) provided UN Forces with porters and labourers and generally employed older men who were not able to be conscripted into the Republic of Korea Army. More than 100,000 Korean civilians served with the KSC throughout the war. Hele observed and sketched them undertaking a range of tasks.
