1. An overview of Inchon and Arabou in <strong>Oct</strong>ober 1954.<br />
2. The Inchon Replacement Depot in winter of 1954-55. It was located<br />
eight miles north of Inchon. Several outfits were located in the<br />
valley, e.g., Engineers, Ordnance Department, Motor Pool. Beginning<br />
in early 1954, troops came directly from the states to Inchon.<br />
3. All incoming troops at Inchon came through this arch. Note the<br />
parkas on these new troops loading on transportation for Inchon<br />
Replacement Depot.<br />
4. Two house boys for barracks. Kim is on the left; Song is on the<br />
right. They kept troops’ Quonset huts (barracks) clean, swept, and<br />
mopped each day. They even made the troops’ beds some days<br />
(depending on the troops treated them). Troops simply did not mistreat<br />
house boys.<br />
5. Downtown Inchon in <strong>Sep</strong>tember 1954. A foot pedal operated the<br />
cotton candy machine. Note “A” frame on the back of the onlooker.<br />
The troops in the background are communist observers. They attended<br />
each shipment of troops, and counted them. The U.S. could only<br />
replace their troops. They could not increase the number of troops.<br />
The observers were at every shipment of incoming and outgoing<br />
troops—all of whom were counted!<br />
6. Inchon in <strong>Sep</strong>tember 1954, with Wo-Mi-Do Island in the bay. It was<br />
connected to Inchon by a causeway. The island was taken by the<br />
Marines in the 1950 invasion of Inchon.<br />
