Description

A small Vietnamese boy and dog standing beside a pile of pumpkins, a bag of rice and cooking equipment. The boy is among a group of Vietnamese families waiting to move from Slope 30, a Viet Cong controlled area in Phuoc Tuy Province, as part of a resettlement programme designed to identify and separate Viet Cong from the local population.
