Dave Thompson is correct:
Neil Davis, an Australian War Photographer gives a partial account of that time here: http://australianscreen.com.au/titles/frontline/clip3/
Neil, who worked mostly with Vietnamese and later Cambodian troops, shot the footage seen in the clip. He was killed / murdered by ‘friendly’ Thai troops during one of the many coups in Bangkok on 09 September 1985. The camera still running, Neil filmed his own death.
As Neil says: General Loan learned that the VC/NVA was captured near the police compound where Loan’s friend, wife and 6 children were ‘murdered’ by the VC/NVA. As an (OZ) adviser with the ARVN, I ran across Neil a few time in SVN. Always cheerful and optimistic, he loved the Vietnamese soldiers and always spoke up for them as they were doing the bulk of the fighting (contrary to what the official reports may say).
A number of attempts to assassinate Loan (sanctioned by the SVN president), failed, including a helicopter gunship attack on a bunker Loan was in. General Nygoc Loan died from cancer at his home in Burke, Washington. It was definitely one of those occasions during the TET offensive, 1968, where you wouldn’t want to investigate too thoroughly for fear what you might dig up about your own troops. No names – No pack drill.
