THE KOREAN WAR 1950 - 1953
© IWM (MH 33032) Lance Corporal Les Markwick (with binoculars) and Private Sten Munns, both with the 1st Battalion, The King's Shropshire Light Infantry, prepare to fire on Chinese positions witha Bren gun.
I wonder if these two men are still alive.... © IWM (MH 32598) Two NCOs of the 1st Battalion, the Durham Light Infantry, Corporal Alan Hope and Corporal Bert Barraclough, hold up a photo album bought by men of the 3 inch mortar platoon for one of their wounded comrades.

I have to say messrs Marwick and Munns don't really look as though they are about to prepare to fire on Chinese positions any time soon, but, if they did, I do hope the gentleman with the camera had enough time to move.
