Description
Government forces sustained heavy losses west of Phnom Penh, near Khmer capital, over the weekend, as they battled with Communist forces for control of the so-called invasion route to the capital. This film shows the aftermath of the Communist attack on a Khmer company, early on Sunday, at Prey Khiev Hill, about 10 kilometres north of Highway Four. Many civilian dependants of the soldiers living on the hill died in the action.
