# South Korea: The Common Struggle, Korean Army, Navy and Marine Units Help in the Common Fight Against Aggression

An English-language photo sheet headed 'SOUTH KOREA', numbered 2, opens with a quotation attributed to President Chung Hee Park: 'If we fail to block the communist invasion in South Vietnam we will lose the whole of Southeast Asia...' Photographs show a Vietnamese woman garlanding a Korean officer, a Korean Marine 'preparing to attack', a patrol, an assault boat and artillery. It pairs a head-of-state quotation with allied combat images and states the 'aggression' framing as fact.
