In case you wanted to practise reading your Hangeul. These names are the fallen soldiers from Korean war battles around Yang-gu. We went there last Sollal 설날. Last year's 살날 we went to the most Eastern part of the DMZ in Sokcho so we chose to go to the Yanggu side this time.
The Yanggu Unification Hall is located in the northernmost part of the Civilian Control Zone in Haean-myeon Yanggu-gun. It was built and opened to be utilized as a unification education center that would help broaden people’s understanding about the real situation in North Korea in preparation for reunification and encourage commitment for reunification. The location is 5 km away from The Fourth Tunnel, in the northern end of the punch bowl basin and it first opened in 1996. It has a first exhibition hall, second exhibition hall, agricultural specialty market, and a parking lot that can accommodate about 100 cars.

A lot of them are still lost out there and being discovered one by one until today.
Yes, it is that terrible. Just because it was a long time ago, didn't mean it wasn't horrible. |

A poem for the fallen. |
