Rick_E_5-1.JPGPartially destroyed ammo144 viewsRick explains that some ammo arrived without fuses. They were told to destroy it with C4 and det cord. The ammo was stacked pyramid style with C4 stuffed in the fuze hole and wrapped in det cord. The explosion resulted in a very large piece seen in this photo that landed in the middle of the gun section. It was fortunate that no one was hurt or killed. Detonating ammo is a job for the pros, not wannabes.

SG-25.JPGLZ Meade144 views"A" Battery just arriving by "shithook" (Chinook) on LZ Meade. We had just left the comparable "luxury" (?) of LZ English. LZ Meade was dusty, dirty, and worst of all, rocky. Could not fill a sandbag...too hard to dig. Apparently we were not the first unit to occupy the hill as there was a lot of stuff left from previous tenants. No ID's on the guys in the photo.
