Afscheid van Korea door de militair Van Fleet 1951 - 1953

"Afscheid van Korea door de militair Van Fleet" (Farewell of Korea by the Military Van Fleet) is a photograph by Dutch photographer David Ketel, taken during the Korean War between 1951 and 1953. The photograph captures the moment of farewell as General James Van Fleet departs Korea, surrounded by a group of children who are presenting him with flowers. Ketel's photograph provides a poignant glimpse into the human cost of war, highlighting the innocence and vulnerability of those caught in the conflict. The image, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a powerful testament to the enduring impact of the Korean War on the lives of those who lived through it.
