| Description |
"Communicating: A Vietnamese sound-recording technician employed by the National Broadcasting Company (NBC) acted as interpreter for the US Marines at one point during Operation Bold Mariner near the Batangan Peninsula. The Marines were rooting out Viet Cong infiltrators in the area and they needed to talk innocent villagers into withdrawing temporarily to a place of safety while they searched for the enemy holed up in tunnels and other hiding places. But the regular Vietnamese interpreters working with the Marines were busy elsewhere. Tran Van Than, who was covering the operation with an NBC-TV news team, volunteered to broadcast instructions for getting to the safety of a temporary settlement over a public address system the Marines had set up. Than, a veteran of 14 years in Vietnamese Army motion picture service, succeeded in talking 140 villagers to safety (official USMC photo by Staff Sergeant Bob Jordan)." From the Jonathan F. Abel Collection (COLL/3611), Marine Corps Archives & Special Collections OFFICIAL USMC PHOTOGRAPH |
