Description
(Original Caption) Dak To, South Vietnam: Members of the 173rd Airborne Brigade, many wounded during the bitter siege of Hill 875, huddle together here, wary of sniper fire, as they wait for evacuation helicopters. Reinforced American troops seized most of the strategic Hill 875 and dug in within hand grenade range of North Vietnamese fortress at the top. Fighting in the Central Highlands has been the fiercest in the Vietnam conflict.
