North Korean Prisoner's of the South Korean Guerillas. To the front Engineman Kirkland, Officer ?, Gunner's Mate Zerr.
As I remember the South Korean Guerillas had been cutoff by North Korean forces and the only way to escape was by the sea and commandeered a small North Korean fishing boats. The two fishermen in this photo were striped and clothing searched.
In 2002 I was told after we dropped off the Guerillas and the Prisoners the two
men were executed. I do not know this as a fact! If so hopefully there is more
to story than I know.
