Description
Vung Tau, Vietnam, 1967-01. Elevated view of the corrugated iron roofs and cramped back yards of the houses that lined the squalid back alley behind the RAAF Sergeants' quarters at the Ngoc Huong Hotel in Vung Tau. In the foreground, washing is hanging out on a series of clothes lines, while a coil of barbed wire stretches above them. A brothel employing ten prostitutes operated in one of the hovels lining the alley. (From report on 'Living and Domestic Areas' by Flight Lieutenant Ian Favilla, 1967-01-27, Department of Air file 652/13/39 part 1)
