Culpeper, I would still try and find a copy of "I protest" the caption below the picture may say who it is.

Okay, I'll need to get it through ILLIAD though.

Photo is from Khe Sanh Feb 23, 1968.
In the pic is LCpl Albert Miranda, LCpl David Birdwell and Lt Alec Bodenwiser.
Their hometowns are listed as well, it is a very famous Life photo.
Photo is by David Douglas Duncan (A Former Marine himself ISTR)

All info from 'The One Round War' by Peter Senich.

BTW it's Scout/Snipers.
That is an issue wool shirt for all of you interested.
I'm not sure which S/S platoons would have been there but there were multiple Regiments involved.

Twice in one week for some reason, in fact, twice in one day...

I have written "Scout/Sniper" 1,000 times as punishment. Thanks for the ID. Not bad for your second contribution to the forum. Welcome aboard. BTW, are those IDs from left to right?

[bikewrench8541]

Affirmative. Left to right.
Cheers, thanks. I actually had just looked it up yesterday morning for another person.

I canceled the ILLiad request for "I Protest" and changed it to "One-Round War". I didn't get the title until I saw the cover...



"I Protest" is on my radar though.

Here is the actual developed photograph. I have also found a means to contact the center Marine. I hope he replies or joins this topic.
