Picture of the Day: French Korean War Veteran to Be Buried in Korea
South Korean honor guards carry a portrait of the late French Korean War veteran Robert Picquenard and a box containing his ashes upon their arrival at Incheon airport, west of Seoul, on Nov. 7, 2022. Picquenard, who participated in the 1950-53 war at 18 and died in France in June this year, had expressed his wish to be buried on South Korean soil before his death. He will be buried at the U.N. Memorial Cemetery in Busan. France and 15 other nations fought for South Korea against invading North Korea forces under the U.N. flag during the conflict. (Yonhap)
