    The following photographs are "U.S. Army Photographs" acquired by me through devious ways. I post them here in the hope that they will be of interest.

    This is Sp/4 Davey Clark and "Rocky' of the 38th Scout Dog Platoon in Chu Chi. They are searching for VC positions on an operation with the 1/5th Mechanized Infantry south of Cu Chi base camp.

    The strange thing about this is that I doubt that Davey Clark will ever have seen these pictures.
