That is one hell of a set of pictures about a war that IMHO never got the coverage it should have.

Thank you very much for sharing

Very good pictures!

Those feild hospittles remind me of M*A*S*H (the television show.)

Amazing that such a war could be largely forgotten.

Thanks for the pics, TVM, I've saved a few of them.

It is the forgotten war.

American's remember that we lost 58,000 people in the Vietnam Conflict which lasted 16 years (57-73) 3,600 deaths per year

In the Korean Conflict we lost 36,000 in only three years. 12,000 deaths per year.

It is a shame that the Korean Conflict is not more commonly remembered.
