PowerPoint Show by Andrew

Never-seen-before photos of Marilyn Monroe wooing soldiers in the aftermath of the Korean War.

Monroe interrupted her honeymoon in Japan with baseball star Joe DiMaggio in 1954 to visit troops who had been fighting on the front line.

The whirlwind tour saw the her perform 10 shows over four days to more than 100,000 soldiers and marines who were celebrating the end of three years of combat.
