Vietnam Liberation War Art - Nurse Khuong fires a Machine Gun - 1965

Description: Đồng Chí Khương, Trong Trận Bình Giả - Comrade Khuong during the Battle of Binh Gia. Comrade Khuong, often referred to as Nurse Khuong in various accounts, is recognized for her remarkable bravery during the Battle of Binh Gia. While she is primarily known for her role as a nurse, she demonstrated exceptional courage and resourcefulness beyond her medical duties. During the battle, Khuong took on the role of manning a machine gun in addition to her medical responsibilities. This act of valor was significant because it highlighted her willingness to actively participate in the defense of her position and support her comrades under intense enemy fire. Her actions were particularly notable given the context of the battle and the dangers involved. Khuong's ability to shift from providing medical care to engaging directly in combat exemplifies her extraordinary spirit. Her bravery in manning a machine gun and continuing to aid the wounded earned her a place of honor in the history of the battle and a lasting legacy of heroism and dedication.

Title - Comrade Khuong at the Battle of Binh Gia Artist - Co Tan Long Chau Date - 1965 Location - Binh Gia South Vietnam Pictures Napalm, phosphorus, rockets, super-bombers, expanding bullets, toxic gases - the American command in South Vietnam recoils from none of these and any other means of extermination. Against such unbridled barbarism, the Vietnamese people have successfully defended their freedom. Against one of the most colossal war machines ever known in history, "people's war" is being fought with valiance and creativeness, combing bamboo spears with anti-tank guns - a war in which a young mother's persuasive voice is just as a ten-year-old boy's inquiring look, also are weapons. No less effective weapon is art with its colours and melodies. For this is life which is grappling with death, the forces of a bright future with the evil forces of a rotten past of oppression. Here heroism goes hand in hand with beauty: the fighting people demand poems and songs and drawings as urgently as rifles and bazookas. With a few pencils and a charcoal in their knapsacks, the painters in South Vietnam set out for the front, following the combatants in their march and the popular masses in their demonstrations, crawling under showers of bombs and shells to fix in their note-books here a man's or a woman's features, there a mangled coconut palm, there again an assaulting squad. Many artists have thus fallen, others have been captured and submitted to atrocious tortures: They paint with their own blood. The sketches by six artists of the people: Co Tan Long Chau, Le van Chuong, Huynh phuong Dong, Thai Ha, Le hong Hai, Nguyen Van Kinh that you find herein will perhaps help you to form a more thorough view of embattled Vietnam. In our country there are not only bomb explosions and the smell of napalm-charred corpses, but also - everywhere, even in blitzed villages and rice fields scorched by chemical products - children who dance, men and women who sing, cameramen and painters busy filming and drawing, all of them convinced that their enthusiastic mettle will not die down although they know they risk their lives at any moment.
