"Looking Down the A Shau: A Navy hospital corpsman and a young Leatherneck from the 9th Marines examine a captured 122mm howitzer. The field piece is the largest enemy gun captured in South Vietnam. The North Vietnamese soldiers had tried to swing the gun from its normal position facing down the A Shau Valley, but Marines participating in Operation Dewey Canyon attacked them before the alternate position could be completed and the enemy spiked the gun as they retreated (official USMC photo by Staff Sergeant Bob Jordan)." From the Jonathan F. Abel Collection (COLL/3611), Marine Corps Archives & Special Collections, Quantico, Virginia OFFICIAL USMC PHOTOGRAPH |
