Description
Pakchon, Korea. 1950-11-05. Wounded soldiers brought back from the battle on the Hill are placed in shallow trenches to protect them from Korean heavy mortar bombs landing across the road. In the background are a stretcher jeep and a Chevrolet 4 X 4 3 ton truck waiting for a road block treated by North Korean and Chinese forces to be cleared. Across the road Korean refugees are getting a full view of the action.
