27 APRIL 1985, Page 25

Larry Burrows

Sir: A word dropped from my piece on the last days of Saigon last week (20 April) needs reinstating. Larry Burrows, the British-born Life photographer, was not just 'in Laos' in 1971; he died there, shot down in a helicopter, one of the 69 journalists killed in action or missing in the war. RIP, all of them.
