Inscriptions Typed in black ink on applied label, verso BC: (S. Vietnam) 11/62 29) BYSTANDERS: only those too young or too old to fight \ are free of suspicion in South Vietnam. Here, civilians of a \ village near the Cambodian border cower in fear during a search \ for reported enemy guerillas. All young men are automatically \ taken for questioning and held unless they can prove they are not \ fighting for the Vietcong. \ Credit: Dickey Chapelle © 1962 MAGNUM Photos
