British Sailors Honor Korean War Dead

British sailors who are in port at Pusan stopped by the United Nations Cemetery in Pusan to pay their respects.

If you haven’t been to the UN cemetery in Pusan you really should go.  The cemetery has graves from many of the countries involved in the Korean War and the experience is quite sobering especially when you realize the few thousand graves there are just a small minute fraction of the overall war dead from the Korean War.  Another interesting fact about the cemetery is that it is the only UN operated cemetery in the world.  It is a quiet, pleasant place, which is actually quite amazing considering it sits in the middle of one of Korea’s busiest cities.
