Mr-Cob > Chopper landing inside of a Fire Base.
Mr-Cob > This was taken the morning of November 1st. 1968. It is the still burning remains of my Track, B-32. This was at Fire Base Rita. During this battle my unit lost over 10 dead and many more wounded, we killed close to 300 NVA and VC. We were attacked in waves, this was one of the worst battles I was in.
Mr-Cob > I remember the man holding the RPG ( Recoilless Penetrating Grenade ) as "Tiny" he was a big man who was killed about two months after this photo was taken at a battle in the "Iron Triangle", about 30 clicks from our Base Camp at Lai Khe.
Mr-Cob > Daily life in Vietnam was bad enough during the dry season. When the monsoon rains came it was much worse. The rain was cold and unending, it turned everything including most of the roads into slippery, slimey waist deep MUD. This was taken at some Fire Base, during the monsoon season. The Track in the far right side of the photo is being worked on, notice how the track is loose and not tight on the front drive sprocket. It is having some type of maintenance preformed on it's drive system. The only good thing about the monsoon season was that Armor couldn't operate in some of the areas we had to fight in during the dry season, however that didn't keep us out of the fight.
