South Korean dead mourned

In Seoul, President Syngman Rhee leads memorial services for South Korean war dead, with UN officials and U.S. General Maxwell D. Taylor in attendance. The services mourn the 34,000 ROK defenders killed in the last year of the war. Over 73,000 South Koreans died fighting against communist aggression. Mourners burn incense in tribute to the dead. Although an armistice has halted the conflict, there is hope for lasting peace through diplomatic efforts.
