Description

Compound A Kitchen at Nonsan prisoner of war (POW) camp, which housed North Korean POWs. The ornately embellished facade was probably designed and constructed by prisoners. Clothes are drying on a washing line at right, a water drum with 'Fire Only' written in English and Chinese is near the corner of the building, and what appears to be a rubbish collection area with 44 gallon drum incinerators is laid out in the foreground. 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.
