SEOUL: From a veteran wounded in combat to a conscripted grandson, three generations of a South Korean family illustrate changing views of the North and the Korean War, 70 years after it began.

In comparison, the Soviet-backed Korean People's Army had nearly twice as many troops, supported by hundreds of tanks, fighter jets and warships. Yang said he hoped for a peaceful reunification of the Korean peninsula - under Seoul's rule - but remains wary of the communist North, which has"time and again violated inter-Korean agreements".

Yang remembers taking part in regular rallies against Pyongyang in elementary school, and training in military uniform as a high-school student.
