General Note
3 August 1969. Box Bridge defensive position, located approx. 11 km NE of Saigon. A member of Hq. Sec., 'B' Troop, 1/17th Cav, 82nd Abn. Div. sits next to a 'Think Safety' sign, an ironic notion considering this is a war zone. This was one of a series of photos I shot with my own camera while on assignment to document the uses of barbed wire tape in the field. It was my first attempt at capturing life in the field for the soldier, rather than the Army's desire to see how the equipment worked. Photo SP5 Bryan K. Grigsby (DASPO)
