Description: |
|
Twenty kilometres east of Sepon, Ban Dong (Dong Village) was on
one of the major thoroughfares of the Ho Chi Minh Trail and is
the easiest place to see what little material is left from the
war. Most of what was previously scattered around the area has
been gathered into the gated front lawn of the newly opened War
Museum.
These include two American-built tanks used during
Operation Lam Son 719, a disastrous Army of the Republic of
Vietnam (ARVN) assault on the Ho Chi Minh Trail in February
1971. Despite support from US combat aircraft, the ARVN troops
retreated across the border at Lao Bao after being routed by
seasoned North Vietnamese Army (NVA) troops at Ban Dong. To see
the tanks, part of a plane, guns and other scrap, the museum is
at the eastern edge of Ban Dong. |
