Collection relating to Neil Davis, war cameraman and correspondent
Description
Original caption: "Marshal (President) Lon Nol's daughter LON MAROKOTH, known as SREY SRAS (nickname, means 'charming girl') with maid. At Lon Nol's beachfront villa at Kompong Som, 30th Dec 1974. Davis always got on well with Srey Sras, who always looked for Davis - who invariably had a small gift for her. This time it was a pretty seashell. Lon Nol liked anybody who liked Srey Sras! That morning I interviewed Lon Nol on the beach, then in the afternoon I filmed the crippled marshal swimming - the second one mainly because of Srey Sras - his aides tried to stop me asking Lon Nol!"
