Bodies of US paratroopers lie near a command post during the battle of An Ninh, 18 September 1965.
The paratroopers, of the 1st Brigade, 101st Airborne Division, were hit by heavy fire from guerrillas that began as soon as the first elements of the unit landed.
The dead and wounded were later evacuated to An Khe, where the 101st was based.
The battle was one of the first of the war between major units of US forces and the Vietcong

Henri Huet France 1927-1971
Les photos d'Henri Huet sont sans fard :
elles montrent des soldats en difficulté, des blessés graves qui n'en ont plus pour longtemps, des cadavres qui attendent d'être rapatriés dans des sacs.
Dans sa photo la plus célèbre, publiée en couverture de Life en 1966, un docteur tente de soigner un soldat alors qu'il est lui-même sérieusement blessé.

Even during a war that produced some of the most iconic moments in photojournalism, Henri Huet’s images of Vietnam distinguish themselves as particularly artistic and moving.
Unlike most war photographers, Huet was a native of the land he was photographing, the son of a French engineer and Vietnamese mother.
Shooting for the Associated Press, he captured an image of a badly wounded American medic continuing to tend to other injured soldiers that landed on the cover of Life magazine and won him the Robert Capa Gold Medal.
Like Capa, the famed chronicler of battle, Huet died in the line of duty: he was shot down over Laos in 1971, at the age of 43.
