Description

Informal portrait of a smiling North Korean prisoner of war (POW), at Nonsan POW camp. The man is sitting on what appears to be a new blanket and is holding what is probably a bible given to him by the Korean Bible Society. This photograph is one of a series taken by the Australian Mr Douglas (Doug) Bushby in his capacity as a UN accredited War Correspondent. Mr Bushby devoted much of his time to relief and missionary work amongst Korean refugees, orphans and North Korean and Chinese prisoners of war.
