Description
During the Vietnam war there were billions of sandbags filled to be used to protect against mortar and rocket attacks throughout Vietnam. In many situations in the rear areas of military installations such as the 101st Airborne Division, locals were screened and hired to fill sand bags. The dress was simple and straw hats were common to protect against the beating sun. This photograph was taken with a Pentax 35mm camera in 1966 and the slide was digitally cleaned up.
