[edit] Which province?

In which province did this take place? Was it Khe San or Khe Sanh? Badagnani 05:21, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Strange article

It must be renamed. There were two Hills 881 near Khe Sanh - 881 North and 881 South. Also, there was Hill 861. The actual Battle of Hill 881 South happened on April 30, 1967, and it was American defeat - 3/3 Marines didn't took the hill and had no less than 43 KIAs, many of which were left on the battlefield (pretty rare thing for Marines). 881 South was "taken" on May 2 without any fight after NVA withdraval. 195.248.189.182 (talk) 18:54, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
