United Nations troops, probably Turks, checking Chinese Communist (CHICOM) troops, dressed in quilted winter uniforms, for hidden weapons. The Chinese troops were captured during the Kunuri engagement. This photograph was taken by Allan Lambert, a staff photographer for The Age, and was published in that newspaper on 11 December 1950.
