Annotation

Wolfcreek (Brogan, Earl) Country. Parrott, Virginia, USA. Soldier's perspective, combat description, KIA. Girl in Wolfcreek will be lonely. I've been called by Uncle Sam and sent to Vietnam Buddies are all dead. The VC attacked at midday too many of them. I was supposed to be discharged three days ago, was going to marry the girl in Wolfcreek But I'm wounded and the VC are coming back, I'm going to die
