Inscriptions (on printed label on page): Death by the Carload. An oxcart loaded
with bodies of government soldiers killed in the battle of Binh Gia in
South Viet Nam is pulled from the jungle near the village. About 200
government troops died in the fight which lasted more than a week,
extremely long for a military clash in the Southeast Asia nation.
