The Journal of Vietnamese Studies tells us about the life of a Vietnamese WWII era glamorous film star who had an extensive dossier kept on her by the French because of her resistance activities 

"The Allied Reoccupation of French Indo-china, 1945"
Japanese soldiers form a guard of honour at the quayside in Saigon as British warships come alongside to land troops of the occupation force.

 "A French Foreign Legionnaire in Indochina. In the background is a M24 Chaffee light tank."
Original description: A French Foreign Legionnaire goes to war along the dry rib of a rice paddy, during a recent sweep through communist-held areas in the Red River Delta, between Haiphong and Hanoi. Behind the Legionnaire is a U.S. gifted tank. Pix., ca. 1954.
