Anyone with an interest in Vietnamese history should check out the amazing old photographs on this website , which was created by a former South Vietnam soldier to commemorate his lost comrades and bemoan the “loss” of the motherland. Most of the photos show South Vietnam during the American War, but a few - like this 1973 shot of Bon Mua Ice Cream - depict Hanoi during the war years. Like most of the pictures on this site it is credited to Bettmann/Corbis.
