Memories For This Unit

Best Friends
PFC Jim Danks, a veteran of Korea that came back in for the war and because of his age was assigned as the CO's driver - from NY I think. LCpl. Tom Conlon, a Boston Irishman who I had served with earlier, in 3rd FSR or FLSG-A I think.

Best Moment
Creating a "Comm. War-Wagon" to control our convoys, complete with armour, sandbags and radios out of a MRC-110. Also designed 2 other "look-a-likes" to fool the VC and their use of command detonated mines.
   

Worst Moment
Losing Lt. Davis, Sgt. Leonard, LCpl. Wiener and PFC Halcross to a 30 lb. box mine on our way to Hill 37.

Chain of Command
LtCol. Burgess was the CO when I left.
   

Other Memories
Arrived 7 June 1970 and departed 13 February 1971. We ran convoys up and down Hwy 1 to resupply/reinforce or move the various units operating from Chu Lai to Quang Tri.
