At a Viet Cong (VC) training camp in a rural area, two instructors (left and centre) supervise a group of recruits who are learning how to use a Chinese 75mm recoilless rifle. The man (second from right) is holding a shell for the weapon. Behind the group is what appears to be a water-filled bomb crater surrounded by broken and stunted tree trunks. The original photograph was captured from the VC.
