picture from the Vietnam War. It's black&white, a picture of three sandbag
bunkers and a military two-man tent in what appears to be a diamond arrangement,
looking down the long diagonal of the diamond, thus one bunker in the
foreground, two bunkers at various distances in the background, the tent at
the far end. On the right hand bunker in the background sits a soldier draped
in a poncho, and on the bunker in the foreground a soldier covered in a poncho
is laying down, sleeping. The details beyond the foreground bunker get
progressively harder to see, and the men are wearing ponchos, because it is
raining.
Anyone have any good places to look for this, hints on how to find it? I can
sometimes find text stuff with Google, but I have no clue how to find pictures,
especially a particular picture.
Thanks,
BOCs for any/all help, Mike already has a sack of dollars!

"If you look on Google.com, there are tabs under the Google logo on the left

If you input key words, you might find what you are looking for.

I did a search with
VietNam tent
and found 3 pages of them... some of the images aren't tents. But
you could look over the resulting site hits.

Fascinating, I must say. Thanks, D.J., and Wyvern, also. I have tagged that
URL for future use.
A BOYC waits on the bar for you!
Unfortunately, it hasn't helped, here. I not only looked at the three pages
that came up with "vietnam tent" I looked at the four pages Google thought
were similar to the first three. And I looked at all the possibilities from
"vietnam bunker", "vietnam rain", "vietnam sleep", and I forget what else.
To no avail.
Any other picture possibilities out there?

Ah. I had spotted tents that were personal photos from Viet Nam. I
was hoping that they had the info you needed.

I know there are groups who have uniforms and gear from WW 2. They
go to military shows, like Veterans' Day events, etc.
Could there be such groups for Viet Nam ?
How about military [base] museums ?

One of the questions in their faq asked about info for reenactors.
They can provide such info. Check their faq.

"Just to the south of here (I'm near Richmond, Fort Lee is between
Hopewell and Petersburg). I used to spend a fair amount of time there
fixing video games, pinballs, pool tables, and the like. IIRC it's on
the chopping block, and may before long be no longer."
*blink*
"... or something. Anyhow, as un-military as I am, I'd miss it if Fort
Lee were to vanish."
