Ed, I don't know what kinds of pictures the lady is looking for, but the third section of David Douglas Duncan's book "This is War" (a photo-narrative) is dedicated to full page pictures (10x12) taken at the reservoir back to Hangnam.  If any one wants to go on line and order this book, you should know the book was originally printed in 1951 commands a very steep price; however, the later printings are a whole lot cheaper.  

P.S. While the book covers the Marines from Pusan to Chosen in 1950, I noticed in a couple of the pictures at the reservoir some of the men are wearing army field boots (with buckles) and some have snow-pacs. I believe these pictures are of army troops from a 7th Division regiment (not to be confused with the 7th Marine Regiment).
