!!! THE VINH TE !!!
CANAL |
|
This is the mouth of the Vinh Te Canal on the Bassac River. When I was assigned to work at an advanced base I traveled the Vinh Te Canal from the YRBM 20 on the Bassac River to Tinh Bien. I traveled the Canal on a PBR and also on a Wooden Landing Craft or Mike Boat.
The Bassac River is the major west tributary of the Mekong River. The Canal starts north of the town of Chou Doc in Chou Doc Province and very near the Cambodian border. Detachments assigned to the YRBM 20 and YRBM 16? patrolled the French-built border canal. The canal ran between the Bassac River and the Giang Thanh River connecting to Ha Tien on the western ocean along the Cambodian Border and within Vietnam. Cambodia was a protected sanctuary for the VC when I traveled the Canal.
