Soldiers walking into a Vietnamese town, ca. 1965

The soldiers are on patrol walking over a set of planks on the steel frame of a bridge into a village while children look on. They are carrying rocket launchers, M-16 machine guns, and canteens. A sign reads “Việt cộng nhái đền tội trước quốc dân và lịch sử” which translates to “The Viet Cong made a mockery of their sins before the nation and history”. There is an animal coop.
