Title: Saigon EOD team members.
Caption: GMGl J.N. Mares and Aol S. Sutton dis-arm a live piece of ordnance in a specially built bunker to protect EOD team members. A vice holds the B-50 rocked while a wrench is tightened to the explosive head - a cord then runs from the wrench through a pipe mounted between the sandbags to the men on the outside of the bunker. The men pull the cord which loosens the explosive head, - thus dis-arming it. If the device should explode, the men are well protected from the blast, November 1967.
