Description

An unidentified British corporal from the Royal Military Police (RMP) stands guard at a signpost in Korea. He is wearing a peaked cap, with a RMP badge and a protective cover over the crown. On his right arm is an MP brassard. His watch shows it is 12.15pm. The sign includes an arrow pointing to a Command Post and the words, 'NEWCASTLE CP. RMP'. Next to the sign, a Korean villager wearing traditional white dress sits on a 44 gallon drum lying on its side. In front of him is his frame pack with a bag of belongings and a tin or pot tied on. Both the MP and the Korean man are wearing moustaches.
