Who is this?

found this image in my grandfathers slides. This was taken in Korea around 1952. Just curious who he is since my grandfather is not around to tell me. Thanks!

Also.... my grandfather is on the far right. What kind of shotgun is that? Ithaca or 870? I dunno what was standard issue back then.

Grandfather is not pictured in the nighttime pic. Asking if anyone recognizes the dignitary in the 3 piece suit.

Possibly the U.S. Ambassador to South Korea ? Thanks.

The gentleman in the three piece suit could be from one of the executive Departments such as Defense or State - an Ambassador was mentioned as a possibility above. He could be an Ambassador from an allied country - The UK for example...He could be the Armed Services Chairman from the House or the Senate. He could be a defense industry company president getting shown how his company's equipment did or did not work as the Army/USAF/Marines/Navy needed it to.

If that's an official photo, there may be others taken at the same event which could have accompanying documentation in the Library of Congress. You'd have to really bear down on the research to turn up a name for this guy. Or if your Google-fu is particularly strong, you might find a match in some other archive on the interwebs...Good luck! You'll need some...
