VC winner to return to Vietnam border area for a final search for US Green Beret Sergeant Anastacio Montez that was killed in battle and whose body had to be left behind.
"With enemy hot on their tail and more than 50 men to worry about, Warrant Officer Payne made the difficult decision to leave his body behind.
With the area heavily bombed by allied B-52 aircraft during the conflict and ravaged by bushfire since the end of the war, Sgt Montez's body has never been found."
