A Chinese soldier, killed by United States Marines in Korea during a Chinese attack following Operation Courageous, a military operation during the Korean War, designed to trap large numbers of Chinese and North Korean troops between the Han and Imjin Rivers north of Seoul. Massive Chinese reinforcements, totaling over 700,000 troops, overran Allied positions to the south but, by the end of May 1951, were progressively pushed back north of the Imjin.Photo credit: N.H.
