Korea photographs 1951-2 by Barry Marsh

PHOTOGRAPHS OF 1 R NORFOLK, KOREA 1951 TO 1952 - BY BARRY MARSH
I was a National Service Private Soldier with 1 Royal Norfolk (C Coy HQ) having been transferred from the Royal Ulster Rifles when the Norfolks arrived in Korea in Oct 1951.
As I was the first person probably in the company to have a camera and use it as frequently as my access to film allowed, I have photographs which others may like to see again or possibly for the first time. Using the search engine 'Google' and typing in 'Norfolks in Korea' I soon found myself seeing and reading about colleagues of 1951/52.
