Military transfer activities in Cao Lanh in 1954

Abstract

After the victory of the Dien Bien Phu campaign in 1954, the Geneva Agreement was signed and temporarily separated our country into two regions, using the 17th parallel as a temporary military boundary. The armistice meant a ceasefire between two involved armies, the revolutionary force must gather in the North, and the French troops were in the Southern Vietnam. After 2 years, the general elections would begin, the country would be reunified, etc. Cao Lanh, at that time, was one of three gathering points to move troops to the North within 100 days. During this time, Cao Lanh's army and people organized many important activities such as: rebuilding the grave of Junior Doctor Nguyen Sinh Sac, building memorials, teaching, etc. Those resonated significantly for both those who passed away and those still alive, making them firmly persevere in the struggle to build and nurture the Vietnamese revolution in general, and in Cao Lanh in particular.
