Excavated Pit in Laterite Soil with Ordnance/Debris Fragment, Vietnam
A candid field photograph from the Bob Karre Vietnam collection showing a freshly dug pit in the region's characteristic red laterite soil, with a light-colored fragment exposed at its base. Images like this — informal, unposed, and taken in passing — offer a ground-level glimpse of daily life and hazards faced by personnel stationed in Vietnam, far removed from official unit photography.
