Taken from Tiger April 1968
This is from an 8mm film that Lt. Sprayberrys Battalion surgeon took from the top of Tiger. The AC & CP walked into Sprayberry's perimeter 2 days later after E&E. They followed the sound of chain saws they heard being used on the LZ.

From Bob Witt. "Doc Mcbride, Mike Sprayberry's medic at LZ Tiger, took these pictures on his return trip to Vietnam. He returned the A Shau to look for his unit's MIA's lost at Tiger. Doc fortunately survived serious wounds received on the road below Tiger on April 25, 1968. Mike Sprayberry received the MOH for going out that night to rescue Doc & the rest of his patrol. Their unit was on board for the first Combat Assault's into LZ Tiger."
