TS-24.jpgThere's War... and then there is war226 viewsThe editor of the newly-renamed "Ivy Leaf" rag of the 4th Inf Division may have wished he gave more thought to this page layout. At top, you have and Infantryman in the jungle, at bottom, you have our cannoneers with "B" Company (s/b Battery), 2/9th, firing a mission, and to the right...TA-DA! An 8,800 sq ft brand new PX has a grand opening...complete with 500 soldiers and a band! Wonder if they sang "Happy Days Are Here Again"?

Dixon50.jpg17th Field Hospital, Saigon226 viewsOne of our NCO's insisted that we shave close enough NOT to scratch the back of his hand or we got assigned EXTRA guard duty! He would actually rub the back of his hand across your face while in morning formation. You had hell to pay if it got scratched! My skin infection got so bad that I ended up in several hospitals, finally arriving at 17th Field Hospital in Saigon. It was a kind of poetic justice from God...

Inside_CONEX.jpgFDC inside CONEX containers224 viewsBest idea in Nam: using CONEX containers as Fire Direction Centers: airmobile and immediate on-station use of artillery. Red circle on map shows range limits of 105mm howitzers. The chart with the RDP was the firing chart and the chart to the left (not shown) was the "check chart". The binders contained records of each mission.
