This is a picture which was carried by an NVA Officer along with other documents.  All NVA Officers kept pictures of their men with them. The NVA Officer was killed in an ambush and found in a bomb crater by the 61st IPCT attached to the 1st Inf. Div.

His solitude was abruptly cut short by mortar rounds. Photo taken in Di An by a member of the 61st IPCT - 1st Inf. Div.

Their APC hit a tree with an ant nest in it and the nest fell into the APC with them! Don says that he would rather fight the VC than those ants! "Remember what those ants felt like?"  Taken at LaiKhe by 61st IPCT with the 1st Inf. Div.
