Description
A Korean man who is possibly a member of the local police, speaks to a young man as he guards a group of Korean refugees crowded a vacant lot behind a brick wall. The guard is wearing a padded quilted jacket with a fur collar, a fur lined cap, gloves and a pair of light coloured trousers. He has a brassard pinned to his left sleeve and is holding a rifle in front of him and wearing two crossed over ammunition belts. The brassard has Korean writing on it and the word 'POLICE' in English. The refugees are dressed in winter clothing and have bundles of belongings with them.
