Text on the object
นี่คือทรากศพชาวเกาหลีส่วนหนึ่งในจำนวนพลเรือน ๒๔ คนที่ถูกทหารคอมมูนิสต์เกาหลีเหนือฆ่าตายแล้วทิ้งไว้ที่แม่น้ำแต้ดง ขณะที่ล่าถอยกลับไป
These are the remains of some of the Korean civilians, among 24 civilians, who were killed by North Korean Communist troops and left at the Taedong River while they retreated.
Thai script read from the image; the river name is read as printed in Thai transliteration (Taedong) and may be misread at this resolution.
