Description
An unidentified British (?) officer, probably from the British Commonwealth Forces Korea (BCFK), salutes after placing a wreath at the base of a flagpole at the United Nations (UN) Military Cemetery at Pusan, South Korea. With him are other officers and servicemen from the UN forces, and a civilian, who are paying their respects to the servicemen who have died in the Korean War. Second from the right at the rear is a US Army General, wearing four stars on his cap. He is possibly General J A Van Fleet, Commanding General of the Eighth US Army in Korea. Note that two of the visiting party are photographing and filming the tour of the cemetery.
