Camp Artillery I
(Photo courtesy of Mike Burke. All rights reserved.)

Here's two photo's which I found which we're taken in 1970 at A-236 or possibly A-239. I was with C Btry 2/17 Arty, 1st Field Force, Ban Me Thout.

I spent time with the SF helping to teach the Yard's or ARVN Rangers how to shoot Artillery. At the time these two pictures we're taken the Camp had only two 101A1 105 mm Howitzer's. Teaching these people was a real challenge, but after awhile all the projectiles we're going in the same direction.

Maybe some of the Vets from the 5th can remember the Camps during that time frame. In 69, we lost alote of guy's at Bu Prang, I'm trying to learn more about that whole ordeal. Thanks
