Iron Triangle Refugees 1965

Bob George
Medium
Painting - Acrylic On Masonite
Description
Painting depicts refugees from the southern highlands of South Vietnam being transported to re-location camps during the early years of the War. Many of these villagers were from the Koho tribes of Montagnards. Mostly apolitical, they paid a heavy price for simply wanting to stay out of anyone's war.

Bob one of our sister companys had three or four Montagnards that would accompany them into the bush. I can`t remember what, if any, capacity they served in. I heard some of our guys say these were the only group of people they would trust in `Nam. Their loyalty and dedication were second to none. It was also said there was no love loss between them and Charley. Getting these folks away from the Vietcong was a highlight of the conflict....great painting Bob

I remember the Montagnards well. I even brought home one of their crossbows and quiver of bamboo arrows. This is a brilliant painting Bob as are all of your works. History is going to treat you favorably........Dave

Thanks so much Dave. I remember that day so well. I was taking pics while the ARVNs were herding those poor people into the Chinooks. It was an unusually cold windy day and they were terrified as they seemed to have no idea where they were going.
