Picture of the Day: British Tankers During the Korean War

» by in: Korean War

Royal Tank Regiment members pose before taking action against the Chinese surging south in January 1951. The goggles were proof against the heavy dust from their tanks; the silk scarf worn by the man at rear was a common affection of British armored and cavalry officers.

Via Seoul Selection which has a variety of great photos from John Rich’s collection of color Korean War photographs.

    I checked out the photos. AWESOME photos. The color and detail is incredible.

    At least with these photos, you can almost imagine what it must've smelled like too.
