South Koreas "Armed Forces Day" falls on 1st of October every year, a variety of displays and military performances are organised.
Emotionally Physical and mental journeys are taken in remembrance of the main Korean war (50-53), this dispute not really being over and the war continues today in one area or another, the difference being the US and Commonwealth have no 'effective' active part (politically anyway)
Here, as part of the Armed forces day celebrations ...four young South Korean soldiers take an M5-A1 on a historic journey to remember and honour their fathers, visiting one of the last remaining signs indicating the 38th Parallel, a dividing line that had so much importance in days gone by.
Even today, sadly, their weapons are primed and the tank is capable of live fire as this forgotten war still flares up unexpectedly.
Hope you like
