Gio Linh, South Vietnam, March, 1967: A South Vietnamese soldier combs the hair of bound and blindfolded North Vietnamese Army prisoners in preparation for the arrival of Premier Nguyen Cao Ky. During his visit to the camp near the DMZ, Ky talked with the now-well-groomed POWs; he also signed two leaflets and a 175mm round which were fired toward North Vietnam by U.S. and ARVN artillery units.
