Korea 70 Years Ago On Film 🎞️

[@andrewkimhs58]

Thank you for uploading a valuable film. My father and his friends worked at US Airforce base in DongChun, DaeGu in 1951-1952.

Happy to share it. Maybe he appears in this film somewhere? We’re currently working on a collection of military base workers, men such as your father and his friends, though these images will show base in Gunsan. Stay tuned.

Wow! Super interesting footage. Any idea what the floral arrangements around the 2:39 mark were for? They’re stunning and so large. Reminds me of Texas high school homecoming mums 💐 Was this footage also recorded by your grandfather?

[@KoreanImageArchive]

Ah they do look like mums. I've seen these arrangements setup to celebrate when a new business opens. Another soldier filmed this 5 years before my grandfather arrived in Korea. Here's a link to his photos - www.koreanimage.com/-/browse/collection/thompson
