Battery_Clerk.JPGBattery Clerks of the 2/9th Arty108 viewsAlmost looks like he's working stateside. He's James L. Keller, 2/9th Hq, Svc Battery. Photo dated 1969.

{Webmaster Note: It's interesting to compare the photos from 1966 to the ones in '69 and later. It looks like we were eventually fighting a stateside war overseas. I refer to it as a "summer camp live fire exercise"}

And they knew how to use them. Vietnam was both a major culture shock and a guerilla war.
