As we promised yesterday, here are more shots of Korea taken just after 1950-53 Korean War by a former U.S soldier who, at the age of 18, arrived in the country to help rebuild the war-ravaged country in the cities Busan and Susaek. The rustic scenes captured during this period lends valuable insight to how people of Korea lived some six decades ago. 


These photos have been made available online by his great-nephew Brendan Donley.
