Description

"Old Well, New Pump: Fresh water flows once more from a 300 year old well in Tung Son hamlet, north of Da Nang. The Villagers rebuilt the well with materials supplied by the 1st Marine Division’s 7th Engineer Battalion. The village chief and Staff Sergeant Ho Dinh Luc, the 7th Engineer’s interpreter, pump water into a bucket held by a village boy and 1st Lieutenant James Turse, 24 (Groton, Connecticut), the battalion civil affairs officer (official USMC photo by Gunnery Sergeant J. F. Colton)."
