Post War Korea, 1955


Michael King was placed with the Royal Engineers for one year as part of his national service.

A keen photographer, he documented post-war civilian life in Korea during his free time.

Over half a century later his photographs have come into the possession of his grandson, who has done his best to scan and restore the photographs, and present them to you.
