Vietnamese Children on Village Path, Cu Chi, South Vietnam, 1967
Vietnamese children wave and pose along a village path in Cu Chi, South Vietnam, 1967. Cu Chi District, home to an extensive Viet Cong tunnel network and later a major U.S. base area, was also home to ordinary villagers whose daily lives continued alongside the escalating conflict. Photographs such as this offer a glimpse of civilian life often overshadowed by the war's military history. Project: 218544
