This 1967 color snapshot captures everyday civilian life in Cu Chi, South Vietnam, near the American base camp of the U.S. 25th Infantry Division. Local women and a child gather outside a storefront advertising steam baths and massage services, a common type of business that sprang up around U.S. installations to serve off-duty troops. Candid images like this one, taken by American servicemen, provide a rare civilian counterpoint to combat photography, documenting the ordinary rhythms of daily life amid the backdrop of war.
