58. Hagaru-ri Evacuation of Wounded

Casualty evacuation from Hagaru-ri airstrip began on 1 December, although condition of the field fell far short of what safety regulations required. Here on a subsequent day, an ambulance discharges its cargo directly into an Air Force C-47 or a R-4D transport. Weapons of other, walking wounded, casualties form a pile in the foreground.
