General Note
3 August 1969 Box Bridge defensive position located approx. 11 km NE of Saigon. A soldier from 'B' Troop, Hq Section, 1/17th Cav., 82nd Abn. Div. gets a shave at a 'portable' barber shop runby a Vietnamese barber. Chances are good this barber or his colleague in the background worked for the Viet Cong as spies. This photo is part of a series I shot that dy using my own camera to depict a soldiers life in the field, rather than the militar'ys interest in how the equipment worked. Photo by SP5 Bryan K. Grigsby (DASPO)
