Looking down an entrance.
Looking down towards the cave complex entrances. We surveyed the entrances to the caves for a B-52 mission to further destroy the caves after Company D 65th Engineers blew up the caves. Capt. Steven Childers, CO of B Company 1/14th was killed.  He was at the entrance to one of the caves trying to coax out some civilians when a VC shot him from behind the civilians.
