In 1968, British photographer Sir Don McCullin travelled to Vietnam for his second ever war assignment.
His graphic photographs of the fighting made his reputation and influenced public opinion in the West.
Sir Don produced some of his most powerful work during the visit including 'Shell-Shocked US Marine, The Battle of Hue'.
The photograph shows an American soldier, gripping his rifle whilst the carnage of one of the war’s most intense battle surrounds him.
Speaking to Louise Hidalgo in 2012, Sir Don describes how he took several frames of this man and how the soldier didn’t blink once.
