United Nations guards standing at ease outside the hastily built building at Panmunjom in which the peace treaty was signed on 27 July 1953. The guard is formed of representatives of some of the major UN nations and includes US Army and Navy military police and an unidentified Australian soldier (right). Some of the men, including the Australian, are wearing the white on red cross-shaped colour patch of the 8th United States Army. All are wearing light blue UN identification tags and photographers and movie cameramen are preparing their equipment on the steps at rear. This photograph is one of a series taken by the Australian Mr Douglas (Doug) Bushby in his capacity as a UN accredited War Correspondent. Mr Bushby devoted much of his time to relief and missionary work amongst Korean refugees, orphans and North Korean and Chinese prisoners of war.
