Description

Original caption: "Neil Davis eating in a bombed out village house with soldiers (men and women). Sitting to Davis' left (to right of Davis as you look at picture) is Army photographer and close friend of Davis So Sokhan, commonly known as 'Costaud' (muscles). Costaud survived Pol Pot, but all his family were killed or died. Coustard now lives rather unhappily in California."
