These are from a small photoset of Ethiopian troops in Korea. Until now I didn't realize they were there.

Sixteen nations sent forces to fight in the Korean War on the allied side. One of the lesser-known contingents was Ethiopia’s Kagnew battalion. It was equipped almost entirely with surplus American WWII gear.

the kagnew (conqueror) battalion belonged to the imperial guard of Haile Selasie, they have the pride and honor of not having captured any of its members and that they all returned, the order given to them was "never be captured", so they carried their wounded and their dead; brave like none, they shared in some battles with the Turks and Colombians
