"Dusty Season in Korea"
"These Republic of Korea troops move into the line from
Wanjin, Korea in a cloud of choking dust that characterizes the
discomfort of all troops operating in Korea today."
"This photo was taken by U.S. Navy Combat Camerman on the
way to join the Marine Corps in the beleagured hills of Korea
in the Chinese Spring Offensive campaign."
Quoted from the original caption released with this photo by
Commander, Naval Forces Far East under date of 24 May 1951. The
U.S. Army truck carrying the ROK troops also appears to be towing
a wooden pole.
Official U.S. Navy Photograph, from the "All Hands"
collection at the Naval Historical Center.
