Delivering the paper in South Korea, 1956
Stars and Stripes
October 11, 2023
Seoul, South Korea, sometime in 1956: Workers load bundles of the Korean edition of Pacific Stars and Stripes on a truck for delivery at the paper’s print and distribution point in Seoul, South Korea. After nearly six years of printing the Korean edition of Pacific Stars and Stripes, the Korea Printing Plant stopped its presses. Taking over was a new, fast, multi-color press in Tokyo which would print a 24-page edition for the troops on the Korean peninsula. The exact date of this photograph is unknown.
