Description

Korea, c. 1950-10. Trudging along a road through a village of thatch-roofed houses, Korean refugees return home to their farmlands which have been liberated from North Korean forces by the allies in their breakout from the Pusan perimeter. The woman (centre) is carrying a bundle of tin cans and has her arm around her daughter. Walking behind her, two women and a man are carrying bundles of household goods on their heads. At right, an A-frame pack with a crosspiece consisting of thick rod of bamboo sits on the side of the road while the refugee carrying it (not in view) takes a rest. In the background, (right) a barefoot Korean peasant woman carries an infant child in a pack on her back. (Donor I. Robertson)
