Culvert sleeping area covered with sand bags. Note the rubber trees.
This appears to be taken in the Artillery area.

This is one of the French built rubber plantation houses that were
located around Quan Loi.

A "huey" flying over some of the smaller French built
houses.

One of many permanent bunkers that surrounded Quan Loi. We would sit
on top of the bunkers at night when we were on duty and fire off M79
grenade launchers to try to keep the enemy from advancing on the
position. |
Capt. Perkins, 1st Sgt Haney and I can't make out who the 3rd person
is.

This is a photo of a truck passing on the road above the "green
line". Good old Quan Loi red dirt!
Note the rubber trees.

This is a photo from the inside of one of the bunkers. If you look
hard enough you can see the "Clackers" for the claymores
sitting on top of the sand bags in the foreground. And you can see some
of the layers of barbwire out in front of the bunker.
|
Looks like a bunch of south Vietnamese workers coming into work on
the road above the bunker line. |
It appears there is a "Shithook" flying over head. |
Another view of the "Shithook".

Appears to be a aircraft flying over some of the French built houses.
|
Aircraft flying over the "green line".
|
A "loach". These were used as observation helicopters. If
you look close you can see the observer hanging out the door.

This was taken in the mortar area as the red and white pole
in the picture was used for aiming. The large OD green box in the
background is an ice chest and the boxes next to it are cases of soft
drinks. The ice was a luxury while we were at Quan Loi.
