Vietcong NVA guerilla scarf
Product Description
The color combination of the scarf is said to indicate what unit the wearer was attached to. The scarves were given as awards, by the unit, for bravery and service
These Scarves were put on only in the last minutes before the Village Forces of the VC and PAVN (Peoples Army for the Liberation of Vietnam) and National Liberation Front, District Militia's went into battle. To be found with one meant arrest or execution.
