One corner of the huge scrap pile on the Inchon docks near the Chosun Machine Manufacturing Company plant. Most of the scrap is military tank turrets, oil drums, helmets, and shell casings. The odd Japanese coin can still be found, a memento to the Japanese occupation of the country. UN 47442 was written under the photograph in the album.
The remains of four Japanese submarines in what was apparently a drydock at Inchon. The main part of the Chosun scrap pile extends to the right and back.

Two views of the southern end of the railroad bridge across the Han River to Seoul. The shots were taken from the south bank, looking towards Seoul. The bridge was destroyed by the army of the Republic of Korea during its retreat just after the invasion on June 25, 1950. Another rail bridge and a highway bridge have been temporarily rebuilt, but the south end and a middle span of this major bridge were still down. UN 47643 was written under the photograph in the album.
