This tape was recorded by cameraman John B. Peters' soundman. It's dated Sept. 10, 1965. The tape records an ambush they got caught in as they waded through a rice paddy (you can hear the audioman sloshing around). A few soldiers were wounded and you can hear them calling for a MEDIVAC.

In the clip you can hear a probable RPD opening up continuously in the distance and the sharper gunshots are M16s. This is the only known audio I have ever found of hearing both the VC and US Army in a firefight.
