The outskirts of Dong Ha. Much better road |
Harry winning the hearts and minds of the local population. |
Highway 9, the road to Khe Sanh. Definitely not tank country, B24 trailing truck, the road was only about a foot wider than the tank. |
The Elephant Grass came right up to the edge of the road. Great for an ambush. |
The results of one such ambush. "Pappy" Parsons looking for items to salvage. |
But there isn't much you can get from a tank with this much damage. Dong Ha, 1967. |
