Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: On guard at Xom Suoi; about 20 miles north of Saigon; a South Vietnamese soldier stands on his tank to survey the scene. Despite the ceasefire; the fighting goes on. Communist artillery fire has been hitting targets near Quang Tri; once a city of 100;000 and now empty of civilians; almost every day. The city itself is a heap of rubble; with no water. A Canadian force is to go there to observe the ceasefire.
