Quoted from original picture caption, released by Headquarters, U.S. Marine Corps, on 22 December 1950.

Yudam-ni, at the western extremity of the Chosin Reservoir, was the scene of early combat in the campaign, as Chinese forces attacked the two Marine regiments there. The Marines subsequently had to fight their way back to Hagaru along roads surrounded by the enemy.
