Picture of the Day: Suwon Fortress During the Korean War

» by in: Korean War

A badly damaged Hwaseong Fortress in Suwon. The Korean War greatly affected Suwon, as the city changed hands four times. Many soldiers passing up or down the Main Supply Route that ran through Suwon photographed the wrecked gate, so emblematic of the ruined nation.

Via Seoul Selection that has a variety of photos posted from John Rich’s outstanding collection of color Korean War photographs.
