Un Chanda Retsamui, 25, a mine victim at Phnom Penh's military hospital. Un was wounded in the 1996 offensive on Pailin, the former Khmer Rouge city and Cambodian gem center. Un has an artificial limb but says it hurts and that he got an infection from it, so he doesn't wear it. With Un is the daughter of a friend. Because most of the wounded soldiers do not come from Phnom Penh, many of their families stay with them at the hospital. (October 1997, Phnom Penh Military Hospital, Cambodia)
