Original caption: "In Our Hands - Parts from four 75mm "Pack" howitzers, the first artillery pieces captured by U.S. forces in Vietnam, are displayed at a 9th Infantry Division fire support base. The weapons, discovered 30 miles east of Saigon on Oct. 14, were found near a tunnel complex that contained more than 500 enemy weapons." A group of American soldiers stand around a pile of broken machines and weapons. In the background there is barbed wire, a sandbag wall, and tents.
