Mark Gayn was a Canadian journalist who contributed articles to such publications as the Toronto Daily Star, the New York Times Magazine, the Washington Post, Le Monde, Yomiuri, and the Chicago Daily News. His extensive travels through Asia and the U.S.S.R. earned him a reputation as one of the world's most knowledgeable commentators on these areas.
The photographs in this digital collection were added to the Thomas Fisher Library’s Flickr site in May 2011. The collection shows a fraction of the hundreds of photos taken by Gayn in the Republic of Vietnam over his five decade career. It includes images taken from 1965 to 1967 of Armed Services Day, Air Vice Marshal Nguyen Cao Ky, Major General Vinh Loc, Montagnards, military corps, An Giang province, An Giang provincial hospital, Mekong Delta, Mekong River, Canadian delegation headquarters, the Hoa Hao executive committee, Vietnamese children, village scenes and Vietcong defectors.
