Shouldn't this be New Year's Day Battle of 1968 - it is after all New Year's Day... – ukexpat (talk) 03:28, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

This Battle is called, "The Battle of Fire Base Burt" or the "Battle of Soui Cut" Vietvet222 (talk) 16:13, 1 August 2016 (UTC) vietvet222


 * It's possible that there an accepted proper name for this, but New Year's Day Battle of 1968 is clearly not it ("New Year's Day Battle" appears in only one book that I can find, very recent, and not in the cited sources as far as I can find), so I'm downcasing "battle".

Quote
There is a quote in the Background section that has open quotation marks but no close quotation marks ("two-company perimeter...") I don't have full access to the article it is sourced to, so I can't determine where the close quotation marks should be placed. Can someone help, please? Cheers. — AustralianRupert (talk) 06:00, 5 March 2010 (UTC) ✅

"On the night of January 1 - 2, 1968, the 2ndBn (Mech)22nd Infantry (Mechanized), 3rdBn 22nd Infantry, and the 2ndBN -77th Field Artillery Regiment were involved in a massive human wave attack by four battalions of NVA and VC at a place called Fire Support Base Burt in Vietnam.

U.S. casualties as a "claim"; inadequate lead tag
Presumably this would be many times easier to verify than U.S. claims of enemy casualties. Does it really need the disclaimer that it is merely a "claim?" Also, what about the lead is insufficient to summarize the engagement? I realize it's short, but the article is quite short too—and, probably, the most notable things about the battle are the future artists who fought in it and that the VC had broken a truce by starting it. 108.34.148.110 (talk) 12:32, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
