This candid color snapshot depicts a U.S. serviceman at a base camp in Cu Chi, South Vietnam, in 1967. The sandbagged earthen revetment and heavy timber structure behind him reflect the defensive engineering common at American installations during the Vietnam War. Cu Chi, located northwest of Saigon, was home to a major U.S. Army base associated with the 25th Infantry Division and became infamous for the extensive Viet Cong tunnel network beneath and around it.
