Ubon in the Time of Cholera

It seemed surreal to me that we were faced with an epidemic. It was so far out of the realm of our American sense of reality. Sometime in the middle of 1969 Cholera swept down the river Closing each base it past finally arriving in Ubon and prompting the the brass to recall everyone onto the base until it had passed. Very few had clearance to commute to their quarters in town.  So 6,000 of us were confined to a base with recreation facilities for 600. The main form of wreckreation was drunken brawls and tearing the doors off the Airman's Club. The AP's were put to patrolling the 'business' section of the base with K-9's and running in any disorderly sorts. It seems to me that the base went dry for the duration as well and the clubs were closed. Finally after a few weeks the epidemic passed and life returned to what we accepted as normal. Got more details or experiences?
