Photos From Korea’s 1948 Yeosu-Suncheon Rebellion
As tensions on the Korean peninsula once again near the boiling point, LIFE presents photos from a largely forgotten rebellion 65 years ago that served as a brutal precursor to the Korean War to come.
"At Yosu in the U.S. zone, where Korea's rebellion began on Oct. 19,
loyal troops flush out communists for trial after retaking the city."
"Two of Sunchon's bereaved women mourn a loyal Korean who fell before a rebel slaughter squad as the rebellion began. An American adviser, Lieut. Ralph Bliss, looks on silently where no advice will help."
