Sgt John Ford, 173rd Airborne
(Ernie Camacho speaking)
In the spring of 2024 John contacted me, offering to give me the photos he had from his time at Dak To. He said he was downsizing and wanted me to have them. He gave me about 400 slides and about 20 B/W prints, along with his cigarette lighter. John had put captions on the back of the prints, showing that they had been taken at the Dak Seang special forces camp. I have those photos poste on the Special Forces Camps web page.
I asked John to provide captions for the many slides he'd sent me. Now, a year later, in the spring of 2025, I was contacted by his wife, Maggie, to inform me that John had lost his battle with cancer.
I had digitized John's slides and put them in date order. I'll post all of them here, without captions.
John said that he had worked as a courier, visiting the SF camps around Dak To. I'm sure that many of these photos document those places. If you recognize a photo and can provide me with a caption for it (location, etc.), I'll add that information.
