Quang Tri Fight Expected as South Vietnamese Advance Falters
A 1000-man South Vietnamese task force withdrew to the river edge after entering Quang Tri City as allied officers warned of a major battle to recapture the provincial capital from North Vietnamese forces. U.S. advisers reported bunkers and citadel fortifications making the push difficult while reinforcements bolstered resistance in the 19th century walled citadel. In An Loc, a lone North Vietnamese artillery shell killed an American general promoted just days earlier, and three other U.S. officers were wounded during inspections. The Tallman casualty count marked the eighth U.S. general killed in Vietnam and the first in two years.
