Description
Korean men who are possibly members of the local police, guard a group of Korean refugees crowded onto a high vacant block of ground next to a corrugated iron fence. One tall guard (right) is wearing a padded quilted jacket with a fur collar, a thick pile cap and a pair of light coloured trousers with a hole in the seat. He is holding a rifle in front of him and wearing two crossed over ammunition belts. Another guard (left) is wearing white gloves and a ragged light weight jacket with a white brassard on his left arm. It bears the word 'POLICE' in English and Korean. The refugees are dressed in winter clothing and have bundles of belongings with them.
