Dull, faded in imagery and contrast A bitter struggle for Baldy Ridge overlooking Chorwan rages, as the strategic position changes hands almost from day to day. Both sides lose heavily in the see-saw battle. Two American soldiers walk through trenches with rifles hung on shoulders, One Caucasian and the other (black) African American. Medical units carry wounded on stretchers, and are transported by jeep. MLS - A shell explosion you see the dark mushroom cloud MCUS - UN soldiers in a ditch with helmets on, and their riffles draped over their shoulder Camera pans over area - The land looks very devastated, not a tree or bush standing MCUS - UN troops carrying the wounded out on stretchers MCUS - A UN soldier helps another to move MCUV - More wounded being brought in
