The flyer states: "During the April 27th Mobilization Against the War servicemen from bases throughout the Bay Area participated in the antiwar actions. This was the first time that active G.I.'s joined with students to protest the war. We must involve these GIs we must encourage their opposition; they are being sent to kill and be killed in a senseless war."<br/> <br/> The event was hosted by the Student Mobilization Committee which was formed in 1966 to coordinate opposition to U.S. involvement in the war in Vietnam among college and high school students. Originally named The Vietnam Day Committee the SMC organized protests on campuses and in various cities and was one of the first groups that included both soldiers and civilians.<br/> <br/> Coverage of the GI Teach-In appeared in the Berkeley Barb Volume 7 Issue 7 August 16-22 1968: "'I've learned two things in Vietnam' said the veteran 'war is hell and the Army sucks.' That was the basic theme of the GI teach-in held last Saturday in Berkeley's Provo Park. The mike was open only to soldiers or ex-soldiers and it had a constant flow of users from the audience. After opening speeches by Don Duncan and some newer faces including Ron Alexander ex-special Forces Dennis Steele ex-101st Airborne and Airman First Class Michael Locks the mike was thrown open. It remained occupied for several hours.Speakers reported that in Vietnam the mood of the soldiers has changed drastically from the early days. Now NCO's and below can denounce the war policy in front of an officer who will at the most turn and leave. All of the speakers agreed that it was of prime importance to give soldiers some indications of support in their antiwar views both on base and off."<br/> <br/> This scarce piece is photomechanically reproduced on a 11" x 8 ½" sheet of white paper which is a bit toned with a one-inch closed tear along the right edge; otherwise very good. unknown

74627Fascinating album concerning an officer's dealings with the hill tribes in the mountains around Vietnam the Montagnards an umbrella term coined by the French for the indigenous mountain people. Quarto three-ring binder. It contains 85 black and white photographs and 20 color photographs of Lt. Col. Frank F. Shelby in his interactions with the Montagnards and with his own unit. Binder and photographs both in very good condition.<br /> <br /> Shelby b.1929 grew up in Lexington Missouri. He joined the army in time to serve in the Korean War where he was with the 5th Regimental Combat Team. It was in Korea that he met his wife Jean who was also in the Army serving in the Women's Army Corps. He eventually ended up in Vietnam and was assigned to the U.S. Military Assistance Command Vietnam MACV a joint-service command of the United States Department of Defense. It was first implemented to assist the Military Assistance Advisory Group MAAG Vietnam controlling every advisory and assistance effort in Vietnam but was reorganized on May 15 1964 and absorbed MAAG Vietnam to its command when combat unit deployment became too large for advisory group control. He and Jean retired in 1973 and soon opened a Sambo's restaurant in the Cordova Mall in Pensacola.<br /> <br /> The Monochrome photographs are generally 5 ½†x 3 ½†except for about five 8†x 10†and document Shelby’s military service in 1969-70. He seems to have been a liaison of sorts with the Montagnard troops fighting with the Americans. But unlike other war albums his seemed to be a mission of coercion and diplomacy. There are no vivid photographs of napalm burning or helicopters crashing. Rather almost the whole album shows him relating to the Montagnards. He visited many Montagnard encampments distributing food and resources smoking ceremonial pipe with the elders arranging concerts etc. Much of the album are photographs portraits of solitary Montagnards.<br /> <br /> Also includes a printed multicolor "Giay Thong-Hanh" pass. It states "Safe-conduct pass to be honored by all Vietnamese Government agencies and allied forces" and consists of a yellow slip with lettering in English and Vietnamese bearing images of the flags of all the allied troops. In the margin Shelby has written "These are passed out in Villages and dropped from planes. All part of the PSYOP program. unknown

1968125181968. Photograph Album. Hardcover. Very good. Unpublished Vietnam War correspondent photographs depicting military personnel prisoners of war battle zones and various graphic scenes of Vietnam in the late 1960s. 123 black and white photographs. Housed in red leatherette three-ring binder with gilt borders and bands measures 11" x 11" x 2.5". Images affixed to self-adhesive magnetic photo sleeves. Wear and rubbing to binder secure metal rings. A few loose photos some mylar peeling on sleeves. Some photographs with war department publication information on verso. Includes numerous captions written for professional publication reporting on various attacks and military operations throughout Vietnam. Features photographs taken for the United States Army United States Marines Royal Australian Regiment Royal New Zealand Artillery and the Southeast Asia Pictorial Center. The Vietnam War 1954-1975 is considered the first "living room war" due to its daily appearance on television and in the press. The war's controversial and polarizing nature only further propelled its publicity and detailed documentation as seen in this example. The majority of these photos are from late 1967 and early 1968 on location in Hue Nui Dat an Australian base now a part of Ba Ria Saigon and Long Binh/Bien Hoa outside Ho Chi Minh. Multiple images refer to Operation Coburg an Australian and New Zealand military action against the North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong over the Lunar New Year festivities of 1968. It was the first time the Australian Task Force was deployed beyond its Tactical Area of Responsibility which set a precedent for later operations that extended beyond the assigned province of Phuoc Tuy. hardcover
