JUNGLE FEVER 29 NOVEMBER, 1967

American soldiers pick their way through the ravaged jungle of Hill 875, near Dak To. The hill saw five days of intense combat during the wider Battle of Dak To, after elements of the 173rd Airborne Brigade were ambushed by People’s Army of Vietnam (PAVN) troops on 19 November. American and South Vietnamese troops fought against the PAVN in the Central Highlands for over a month, eventually drawing in thousands of reinforcements and air support. 376 Americans were killed during the battle, with thousands of North

Vietnamese estimated to have been killed or wounded.
