I would really like to see it. I have feelers out to the New York Times and AP, if they come up with something and it's different than what you have I can send you a copy ff you like, since it may be a photo that your dad actually took. Let me know how you would like to exchange info so we can send these photos. Thank you so much for your response. That could be it…or possibly one from the same roll. I would really like to see it.

I sure would like to see it. I also have some feelers out to track it down through the New York Times and AP. If I find one through them that's different from the one you have I can send you a copy of it if you like since it may have actually been taken by your father. Let me know how you would like to send these photos and we can exchange info. Wow, this is really great. Thanks so much for responding. It could be the one… or maybe one from the same roll of film?

Bailey Sr. (1st Bat. 9th Mar. '66-'67) was the last person to talk to Bernard Fall and Gunnery Sgt Highland before the walked off around a bend on the Street Without Joy and were killed by the land mine (you are right there was no jeep). I believe that the photograph that accompanied the article (New York Times, I think) may have been one of, if not the last, photo taken by G.Sgt .Highland. This photo was of my father, he has his back to the camera, in his right hand he holds his M-16 and you can see the antenna from his field radio above his head. Many years ago the photo album with this news article and many others was lost. If anyone could give me info that could help me find a copy of this photograph I sure would appriciate it!

I was there with Alpha Company 1st Battlion, 9th Marines when Mr. Fall was killed along with Gunnery Sgt. Highland. That was a very sad day. I remember it well.
