Description: Train Chim village, the district town of Dong Tien District.

Description: The fort at Tram Chim. The fort was identical to the many other mud, triangular forts in villages throughout the delta. Barbed wire entanglements surround the fort. A moat protects two sides, the Dong Tien canal the other. This picture is taken during the dry season, which can be told by the water being far below the canal bank.

Collection: Terry Turner Collection (Counterpart Association)
Media Type: Photograph (.jpg)
Description: A picture from a helicopter of the delta in the dry season. The fort in the trees is picturesque, but the pretty tree lines allowed the VC to come right up on them. Pretty in the day, deadly at night. And not that safe to fly into, either. It was too easy to have a sniper fire off a round or two at a single chopper coming in to resupply. If the door gunner fired back, the guy would likely already be gone.

Description: Another shot taken from a chopper, but at a high elevation. The Plain of Reeds during the high water season. The whole world was under water. Everything stayed wet. Military operations were carried out in sampans or by slogging through waist-to-chest deep water all day. That was no way to make a living.
