MORT DANS LA JUNGLE
Cette scène poignante de la guerre au Vietnam ; a été photographiée par un jeune soldat américain, Paul Epley ; à gauche, quelques camarades Ruediger Richter qui attendent la venue d’un hélicoptère d’évacuation; à droite, le sergent Daniel Spencer, qui semble garder le corps enveloppé d’un camarade mort au cours de l’opération qui s’est déroulée dans la jungle de la province du Long Khan; la fumée que l’on voit tout autour est celle d’un fumigène de reperage.

In May 1965, two battalions of the 503rd Infantry deployed as part of the 173rd Airborne Brigade to Vietnam as the first major U.S. Army ground combat unit to be deployed, joined later by 4-503rd Inf and 3-503rd Inf (bearing the lineages of the former Company D and Company C, 503rd PIR, respectively). During its six years in Vietnam, the four battalions of the 503rd participated in fourteen campaigns, earning two more Presidential Unit Citations and a Meritorious Unit Commendation.
