May 1967 - Entry Road to Charlie Btry Phouc Vinh - (the improved entry road is a few yards west).

11/66 Doc Hastings, on the north side of the command tent with new construction starting

DHastingsImage3
11/66 Paul Thorp - Previous medic. The building is the NCO club on the west and officers' quarters on the east.

11/66 Near the trees on the left is a row of helicopters at the airstrip.. (The mortar attack I saw, May 11, 1967, came from the north and repeatedly hit the air strip.)

DHastingsImage7
11/66 The near half of the mess hall roof is rusted. The jungle is close and we are living in tents, but there is some construction work.

DHastingsImage8
11/66 The view out from inside the tent. I kept the jungle-side entry flap up so a sniper with a scope wouldn't see a stationary target.

DHastingsImage9
1/67 There are two circles of white stone in front of the mess hall. Some of the tropical housing units are completed.

DHastingsImage6
1/67 I used the telephoto lens. The trees on the left in photo 5 are the same here, but you can see the row of helicopters underlined by the 175mm and the APC better here.

DHastingsImage4
1/67 Apparently I used a long (telephoto) lens, it appears the two trees are closer to the gun here than in the next picture. (The 8 inch howitzer is firing.)

DHastingsImage13
5/67 My office/living quarters.

DHastingsImage10
6/67 Southwest beyond the mess hall, the perimeter bunker and the urinal is new construction.

DHastingsImage11
6/67 due west is jungle. An F-100 can be seen close to the smoke from its ground attack. There were at least two ground attacks and there were several fly-bys by at least: one spotter plane and two F-100s.

6/67 This is a mortar shelter next to my "office." Another soldier and I got up on top to watch this persistent "air show" that even made the KPs look (photo 11).

6/67 From the north side looking south along the road, with all the tents now replaced.

6/67 A Rome Plow clearing the 12 foot grass to our east.
