Attached are some photos I took in 1971 and 1972 of Korean combat troops, and I thought that Jae-sung Chung may be interested in posting them on his web site. I went to the site, but couldn’t figure out how to get the photos posted…! The captions are a combination of what I had written on the back of the photos, and from memory. Spelling might be a little fuzzy.
