Summary

'Another North Vietnamese prisoner being assisted back for interrogation a few minutes after capture. At the time I felt rather sorry for him, he was about eighteen and was obviously very frightened. His legs shook violently and he eventually had to sit down whilst being interviewed by the Coy Intellignece Officer. Note that the camera has caught him spitting out some substance from an anti personnel grenade that was used to flush him out of his bunker.'
