Description
They’re both from Islington yet they live 8,000 miles apart! Private (Pte) George Cope of Islington, NSW (left), holding a skull, shares a joke in a Japanese antique shop with Pte Frank Hersant of Islington, London, England. The servicemen are patients from the British Commonwealth General Hospital at Kure, Japan, and are visiting during a sightseeing trip. They are recovering from injury or illness after having been evacuated from the Korean War.
