The Mekong Delta on the Brink of a New Decade

 What a shot!
 
& my favorite beer.

Taken by Stewart Jackson, a member of the US Army in 1970, and archived in the gallery of the 6/31st Infantry in Vietnam, these photos depict life in Duong Diem Town, Chau Thanh, Tien Giang Province.

The 1970s were a turbulent decade for Vietnam. This collection reveals the dark realities of war: soldiers, guns and army trucks exist amongst the Mekong Delta province's seemingly peaceful greenery and bustling markets.
