Colonel R.L. Murray's 5th Marines fought many desperate battles, from the Pusan Perimeter through the fight-out from the Chosin Reservoir. Here, I Company takes heavy casualties as the Regiment captures the hill positions overlooking the Han River, preparatory to the Marines crossing it in their advance on Seoul.

The dead Marine in the foreground lies where he was dragged by his comrades, while they cover the rescue of another wounded Marine.
