CU - A derailed and bombed train set up by placing mines under the train tracks by Vietcong saboteurs. Medium High Angle shot - A very poignant shot of a little child who was caught up in a bombing, his left side of his face and arm are badly injured, he is sitting on the ground with no clothes on, because they were blown off of him, only the collar remains of his shirt, and his left leg is bandaged at the shinbone. CU - A wounded civilian laying on the ground is given something to drink CU - Marine medics are attending to an injured little boy, his mouth must need stitches or his lip is badly injured because the medics taped his top part of his mouth with a bandage that goes around his head.
