As America edges closer to war in Korea, a collection of pictures provide a warning from history.

The US Department of Defense images give a fascinating insight into the last time American GIs were sent into conflict on the Korean peninsula.

The Korean War was fought between June 1950 and July 1953 after North Korea, led by Kim Il-sung - grandfather of current despot leader Kim Jong-un - invaded its southern neighbor. The US came to support the South, while China supported the North with assistance from the Soviet Union.

The war claimed hundreds of thousands of lives, including more than two million civilians and more than 33,000 US troops.

The Soviet Union defeated the Japanese army north of the 38th parallel - the division line between north and south - while the US forces fought in the south. In the build-up to the Korean War, the two regions had their own regions, both with their own governments, and both claimed to be the true government of the entire peninsula

The cost of the Korean War to the US was around $67 billion. It is estimated that 103,284 servicemen were wounded during the three-year conflict, and more than 7,800 US troops remain unaccounted for. On June 25, 1950, the UN Security Council denounced North Korean aggression and called for troops to retreat. President - The U.N. Security Council denounces North Korea's actions and calls for a cessation of hostilities and withdrawal of the NKPA to the 38th parallel. Five days later, President Harry S. Truman ordered troops into action
