Alternate Titles

Grenadier: Young Cambodian army soldier holds an extra grenade round in his mouth as he prepares to fire his M79 grenade launcher at a nearby Khmer Rouge position during fighting along Route 5, ten miles north of Phnom Penh recently. The insurgents have been active in the area since they overran the provincial town of Oudong in March. Observers feel that the rebels may be after a fuel depot in the area.
