Troops take turns carrying the distressed man on their backs to the unit’s infirmary |
At midday, Chung’s family members found out he had fainted on a hill near Radar Station 500. Due to the sloping terrain, they could not take their father home by themselves so they ran to the station asking for help.
Immediately, the station sent three troops to the scene. Despite the unfavorable downhill paths, the troops took turns carrying the distressed man on their backs to the unit’s infirmary.
After having a rest, Chung was well again and went home. Reportedly, the scorching sun had made him exhausted. His family sent sincere thanks to the station’s troops for their timely support.
