Sandwiched between World War II and the Vietnam War, the Korean War (1950-53) is unfortunately remembered as ``The Forgotten War’’ overseas.
The inter-Korean conflict however marks one of the first episodes of the Cold War and resulted in some of the largest military casualties for the numerous countries that were involved. The United States for example lost some 37,000 men over the three-year period, which is significant when compared to the 58,000 casualties spread over a decade in Vietnam.
Friday marked the 60th anniversary of the outbreak of the war on June 25, 1950, and a collection of American photographs chronicling the times makes sure that the tragic incident does not fade into oblivion.
