Summary

Description
English: I took this picture in December of 1975, from the same location the picture of the Axe Murder Incident were taken from 8 months later. At the closest end of the Bridge of No Return is CP#3, "The Lonliest Outpost in the World". At the furthest end of the bridge is North Korean territory, outside of the JSA. Notice the 2 1/2 ton truck sitting at CP#3. The two people who would work there during daylight hours needed a big, heavy truck to break through the road barriers the North Koreans had erected for the occasions when they tried to block the road. Also visible in the picture is the tree the fight was over. In summertime, the tree was twice as full as it appears in this picture, basically obscuring visibility between UNC posts. Since the North Koreans would try to kidnap the people working at CP#3 and drag them across the bridge, maintaining visibility between the checkpoints was imperative for their safety during the summer months.
