Description
Korea, c. 1950-10. Korean refugees move to the side of the road to allow a US Army M26 Pershing tank to pass by. The refugee (left) is carrying a load of firewood on his back, while the man in the foreground (right) is wearing a smart sports coat and is holding a walking stick. Most of the refugees are returning home to their farms after the repulse of North Korean forces by the allies in their breakout from the Pusan perimeter. The road, lined with poplars which are bending in the wind, had been built by the Japanese and was elevated above the surrounding rice paddy fields to make it passable during the wet season.
