As they began pruning the branches, 11 North Korean soldiers arrived. Told that the tree was only being trimmed, a North Korean officer responded: “Good.”But after 10 or 15 minutes, a North Korean officer ordered the tree-trimming to stop. He was hit at least five times before South Korean soldiers were able to rescue him. When the American officers refused to stop the tree-trimming, a truck carrying North Korean soldiers arrived.
