EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a Sioux helicopter in action during the Korean War, as seen through the lens of Lt. Geoffrey Norton of the 1st Battalion, Middlesex Regiment (Duke of Cambridge's Own). Taken in 1951, this image is part of an album containing 110 photographs that Lt. Norton took during his service in Korea between 1950 and 1951. The Sioux helicopter, also known as the Sikorsky H-5, was a vital asset during the Korean War, providing crucial support to troops on the ground with medical evacuation, reconnaissance, and supply transport. In this image, the helicopter is seen hovering above a rugged terrain, its rotor blades chopping through the air as it prepares to land. The scene is one of both intensity and precision, as the helicopter's crew carefully maneuvers the aircraft to deliver essential supplies or evacuate wounded soldiers. Lt. Norton's photographs offer a unique and personal perspective on the Korean War, providing a glimpse into the daily life and experiences of British soldiers serving in this far-off conflict. This photograph, in particular, highlights the innovative technology and heroic efforts of the military during this time, as well as the harsh and challenging conditions they faced in the field. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the bravery and dedication of the soldiers who served in the Korean War, and the vital role that technology and innovation played in shaping the course of the conflict. Lt. Norton's album, now preserved in the Imperial War Museum, provides an invaluable record of this important chapter in military history.
