The unit goes on patrol looking for Viet Cong or NVA regulars. They are put under fire and lost members while out. They learned to survive both mentally and physically, as death on both sides of the war could happen at any moment.

He was not expecting the resistance that the British Air Force and Navy would make in his quest for annihilation of Great Britain.
A Coloured Canvas by Lida Anthonia Verboom
The book is a trilogy; Book I Common People. Book II Lions and Eagles. Book III The Rainbow. Throughout this trilogy, for reasons only known to Lidy she used pseudonyms for the characters and members of her family, A Coloured Canvas is not a fictional account of the de Vries and Verboom families but an oral history of events beginning early in the twentieth century in impoverished Friesland.
