Comprising:Script: The script dated 4/15/1988 and identified as "Second Draft" in type, in pencil Jake Bell has written in pencil "London Pre-Broadway/used for Bway Production revised accordingly", 76 pp., not annotated within, the cover and edges spotted.Posters: Four framed posters including a poster signed by Jonathan Pryce, Lea Salonga Billy Porter, and the rest of the cast, 22 x 14 inches; the poster from the opening of Miss Saigon in Hong Kong, 30 x 20; and the show poster from the Broadway Theatre opening, 22 x 14 inches; and the London Theatre Royal Drury Lane opening, 20 x 12 inches.Masks: one stage worn mask with padding inside and the name "Gates," another mask was an opening night gift.Ephemera: including programs, playbills, Jake Bell's National Tour dog-tags, pins, a framed photograph of the cast and crew with the helipcopter, a small framed watercolor of the Broadway theater, a magazine with articles on the show, etc.Letter on diversity issues in the casting of Miss Saigon: present is a letter dated 1990 from producer Cameron Mackintosh to Jake Bell thanking him for his support in the diversity issues plaguing Miss Saigon upon its opening in New York (see note below).A wonderful group of items relating to technical producer Jake Bell's work on Miss Saigon, a complicated show that grappled with the American war in Vietnam. The show featured one of Broadway's greatest technical achievements, the lowering of a helicopter onto the stage, as is discussed below in Jake Bell's note on the musical.Technical Production Manager Jake Bell's memories of Miss Saigon: Miss Saigon, partly inspired by Puccini's Madame Butterfly, was the first modern-day musical theater production centered on the Vietnam War. The plot, set in the aftermath of America’s bloody war in Vietnam, was emotionally raw, telling the sensitive story of an American GI who falls in love with, and is later forced to leave behind, a Vietnamese girl. Unknown to him at the time, she was pregnant. The musical featured one of the most legendary technical achievements in Broadway history, the helicopter airlift scene, in which the American GIs are evacuated from Saigon via a helicopter that lowers from the rafters to the stage, onboards the soldiers, then noisily departs in what became one of the most immersive moments in theater history. The escape of the helicopter was amplified through a surround sound system, creating vibrations that made audience members feel as if the aircraft was flying directly overhead. The illusion was so realistic that some theatergoers instinctively ducked as the helicopter appeared to swoop over their heads before landing on stage.The level of automation in Miss Saigon was groundbreaking, featuring 94 effects. It was the first production to use six automated effects in unison to create a single seamless visual, most notably, the helicopter’s landing and takeoff. Despite this automation, one of the most surprising low-tech effects involved the helicopter’s rotors. Instead of real blades, weighted tennis balls were tied to the ends of nylon straps and attached to a rotating motor. As the motor spun, centrifugal force extended the straps and balls, mimicking the movement of helicopter rotors. When the motor slowed, the straps retracted, completing the illusion. The helicopter itself was supported by two vertical beams welded into the stage, extending from the grid to the basement. Rather than being removed when not in use, it was lifted above the stage trim height and suspended out of sight, overhead of the actors, throughout the performance. The helicopter pilot, a dummy named Virgil, became an unexpected legend in the show. The name originated when a journalist mistakenly believed the pilot was a real person. Virgil was designed to turn his head, creating an eerily lifelike effect. The pilot endeared himself to the crew and they decided give him a name. Miss Saigon featured three Virgils—one on Broadway and two for national tours. Despite his long tenure, Virgil never received credit in the program.The Broadway Theatre also presented unique spatial challenges. While it lacked wing space, it had ample storage upstage, though the ceiling height was lower in the rear. The crew referred to this backstage storage area as “The Garage.” Due to the massive set pieces, storage was meticulously planned. The Ho Chi Minh statue, approximately 14 feet tall, was designed to fit within this confined space when not in use. Other large set pieces, including a full-size 1959 Cadillac, were also stored there in a highly organized manner.Besides the nature of the plot, the production also sparked significant controversy in casting. In the move from London to New York, there was a heated debate surrounding the decision to have Jonathan Pryce, a white British actor, portray a Eurasian character on the Broadway stage. This led to fierce opposition from Actors’ Equity and various advocacy groups. As a member of Actor’s Equity, Jake Bell attended the union meetings regarding the controversy, gaining an inside perspective. As the production manager of Miss Saigon, he witnessed firsthand the tensions that unfolded.Producer Cameron Mackintosh threatened to cancel the show entirely, which ultimately led Actors’ Equity to back down. Mackintosh argued that the issue wasn’t about one actor’s casting but about the integrity of theater as an art form, stating that professional theater "can only thrive if talent is always the paramount criterion."In London, Miss Saigon premiered at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane on 20 September 1989 and closed after 4,264 performances on 30 October 1999. On Broadway, the musical debuted at the Broadway Theatre on 11 April 1991 and closed on 28 January 2001 after 4,092 performances. No condition report?

It was worn by the main protagonist, Captain Benjamin Willard, played by Martin Sheen. This watch model was chosen for Sheen's character due to its popularity amongst US servicemen at the time. The film undoubtedly helped the 6105-8110 to be synonymous with the Vietnam War.

Brigade at Fort Polk, Louisiana from 15 June 1969.Posted to United States Army Pacific (USARPAC) on 16 August 1969 he saw service in Vietnam from 6 September 1969 as part of the 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile) in the role of an Indirect Fire Infantryman (Mortarman) with the 2nd Battalion 8th Cavalry Regiment (Airmobile).1st Air Cavalry Division 1969 -1970In late 1968, the Division moved and set up operations in III Corps at the other end of South Vietnam in late 1968. They were still there when Operation Cheyenne Sabre began in areas northeast of Bien Hoa in February 1969. Their actions here were to prove decisive and by the end of the year the enemy's domination of the northern areas of III Corps had been smashed - thoroughly.When Operation Rock Crusher was launched on 1 May 1970, the First Team was "First into Cambodia" hitting what was previously a Communist sanctuary. President Nixon having given the go-ahead for the surprise mission. They pushed into the 'Fish Hook' region of the border and occupied the towns of Mimot and Snoul whilst troopers scattered the enemy forces, depriving them of much needed supplies and ammunition.The men of the 2nd Brigade found an enemy munitions base that they dubbed 'Rock Island East' on 8 May. The Mission to Cambodia, ending on 30 June, far exceeded all expectations and proved to be one of the most successful operations of the First Team. All aspects of ground and air combat had been utilised and the enemy had lost enough men to yield three NVA divisions and enough weapons to equip two divisions. Further successes included a year's supply of rice and corn seized, uncommonly large quantities of ammunition taken, including 1.5 million rounds for small arms, 200,000 anti-aircraft rounds and 143,000 rockets, mortar rounds and recoilless rifle rounds. As well as 300 trucks, a Porsche sports car and a plush Mercedes Benz sedan.The campaign was to have severe political repercussions in the United States for the Nixon Administration however and pressure was mounting to remove America's fighting men from the Vietnam War. Although there would be further assault operations, the war was beginning to wind down for many troopers.Posted away from Vietnam on 5 September 1970 Scovil began his return to the U.S.A. on 22 September 1970 and on 11 October he was an Indirect Fire Crewman with the 6th Battalion of 32nd Armour based at Fort Knox, Kentucky, where he completed his Army service on 8 April 1971.Sold together an original archive comprising:(i)Combat Infantryman Badge(ii)Air Assault Badge(iii)Valorous Unit Award 1st May - 29th May 1970 for "Fish Hook" region Cambodia(iv)Dress Cap Badge(v)Specialist 4th Class patch (2)(vi)Riband bar for uniform(vii)1st Air Cavalry Division patch(viii)8th Cavalry patch(ix)8th Cavalry cap badge(x)Assorted copied research which shows various service details including medal entitlement.(xi)Safe Conduct Pass(xii)A further set of uniform medal ribands…

A rare Borneo and Vietnam War Special Forces group of three awarded to Sergeant W. H. 'Bill' Roods, Australian Special Air Service (S.A.S.), a gallant and skilful patrol leader who implemented telling Claymore mine detonations against Viet Cong insurgentsGeneral Service 1962-2007, 1 clasp, Borneo (15340 W. H. Roods); Vietnam 1967 (15340 W. H. Roods); South Vietnam campaign service, clasp, '1960-', the reverse officially inscribed, '15340 W. H. Roods', the second with a scratch over service number and the last with slightly chipped obverse enamel, otherwise good very fine (3)William Henry Roods was born in Wauchope, New South Wales on 6 November 1939 and enlisted in the Australian Regular Army in Brisbane in August 1959. Having then served in the 3rd and 4th Battalions of the Royal Australian Regiment, he won selection for the Australian Special Air Service in the summer of 1961, when he joined the 1st S.A.S. Company and qualified for his parachute badge.Having then served in Papua New Guinea and passed a 'Recondo' course, in addition to roping, signal and canoe/small craft handlers' courses, he was deployed to the Borneo operations as a Corporal and Patrol Leader in 2 Squadron S.A.S. in January-August 1966. In late April/early May he led a patrol to explore whether the enemy had re-established a base but could find no evidence to support that suspicion; he appears in TV footage of another S.A.S. patrol held by the Australian War Memorial.Advanced to Sergeant, he was next emplaned for operations with 1 Squadron S.A.S. in South Vietnam, in which theatre of war he remained actively employed from March 1967 to February 1968. 'Actively' being the operative word, as confirmed in Phantoms of the Jungle:'These initial ambushed had been initiated by rifle fire and had been markedly more successful than the earlier reconnaissance patrols. However, the squadron had obtained a quantity of Claymore mines and, influenced by the experience of the ex-2 Squadron men who had used mines in Sarawak, it was decided to use the Claymores in S.A.S. ambushes. At first some of the patrols had no more than two Claymores, but the increasing effectiveness of the ambushes was startling.Between 26 and 30 April [1967] five patrols (Roods, Stevenson, Farley, Hindson and Shaw) were deployed on ambush missions in an arc stretching from the north west to north east of Nui Dat out to a distance of from ten to fifteen kilometres. The first to gain success was Sergeant Bill (Chester) Roods whose five man patrol was inserted ten kilometres north west of Binh Ba. On 29 April they fired two Claymores at three Viet Cong walking along the track, killing two and wounding a third. A few seconds later more Viet Cong moved into the killing area and the third Claymore, facing down the track, was fired. The patrol quickly withdrew and was credited with five enemy killed and one wounded.'In his own patrol report, Roods described the victims thus:'The five men killed were dressed in black. Two were wearing straw hats. At least three were carrying large packs on their backs, one of which was a flower bag. One was seen to be carrying a small unidentified S.M.G., with no woodwork visible. All men were armed but their weapons were not identified. Weapons hear returning fire were of a light calibre, firing single shots.As the patrol withdrew, at least three men were heard to follow for a short distance. It isn't possible to accurately access the strength of the party, but it was probably about 10-12 including the five killed.'Accompanying copied reports testify to around a dozen more patrols led by Roods. Infiltration and extraction were by helicopter and the patrols tended to last for two or three days, invariably in harsh jungle conditions. In his report for the above firefight with the Viet Cong, Roods noted the terrain thus:'Secondary jungle thick with vines and scattered patches of bamboo. Only water was in the main creek. A few leeches were found in the area and the mosquitoes were prevalent at last light.'It is clear, too, that clandestine surveillance was the primary objective of such patrols, a case in point being the five-man team Roods commanded in the Xuyen Moc sector on 16-19 June 1967. On that occasion he was able to send a detailed report of a large Viet Cong force, including women and children. The men wore blue uniforms and were equipped with a variety of Soviet arms, arms which were brought to bear on an attacking helicopter gunship. The patrol had to be withdrawn early 'as V.C. prevented it from reaching water.'But Roods also participated in some larger scale offensive patrols, of which he was second-in-command under an officer or senior N.C.O. One such took place on 11-12 December 1967, when his team ambushed a party of Viet Cong with Claymore mines, killing seven of them - 'Patrol searched the bodies then withdrew to LZ and was extracted.'Roods took his discharge in Brisbane in August 1968 and settled in Broadwater, Western Australia. He subsequently became eligible for the Australian Active Service Medal 1945-75, with 'Malaysia' and 'Vietnam' clasps, the Australian Service Medal 1945-75 with 'PNG' clasp, the Australian Defence Medal and the Anniversary of National Service Medal 1951-72; sold with a file of copied research, including his service record and course reports, in addition to a copy of Roods' reports for 'Patrol 13, 1 S.A.S. Squadron, during its tour of South Vietnam between 1967-68'.…
