Curious why no pics of the massacre at Hue'? This involved TEN times as many civilians as died at My Lai. Occured several months prior to My Lai, just up the road. Received little coverage by media.

Phuc Tuy Province (III Corps)saw approx. 200 KIA. As a general rule, the further north one went, the worse it got. Thua Thien Province (I Corps)saw the most GIs KIA. Almost 3000. Quang Tri (I Corps) so slightly less than that KIA. Phuc Tuy fighting mainly involved VC. Too far from NVA supply lines.

A total of 46,852 Aussies served in Vietnam. 494 KIA. Not to denigrate the sacrifice made by Aussies. Just pointing out some facts.
