In 1954 Marlyn stopped off via detour from her honeymoon to entertain the troops in Korea.
Bob Hope started such a things to entertain the boys back four years earlier with a review and stayed for a three hour set before being flown off
MM stayed for 4 days and performed ten times in just a flimsy purple cocktail dress not having brought any costumes and was freezing (it was February!) and still stood in the rain to entertain! Hence the pictures of her wrapped in army fatigues to warm her up. Wonder what Joe [Di Maggio) thought about such a break to his honeymoon!?
