Notes

Krugozor 6/1965 sound page 6, printed under the headline "Идущие в бой" ("Going into battle"): Wilfred Burchett's sound diary from the liberated areas of South Vietnam, written as he moved along jungle paths with NLF fighters — he describes troops marching with a song, musical instruments carried alongside the machine guns and rifles, and a travelling theatre troupe whose play about the destruction of a "strategic hamlet" was watched in secret by villagers from the neighbouring hamlet, who then asked the troupe to help remove the enemy post; the magazine credits him as "Уилфред Бэрчетт, австралийский журналист" and the contributors page lists "У. Бэрчетт, журналист"; photo by the author captioned "между боями — с винтовкой и плугом" (between battles — with rifle and plough); back cover price 1 ruble with the 1965 World Festival emblem.
