A Battery Soldiers Wounded at FSB Crook in May 1969

Two of our six 105mm howitzer crews took direct hits during a night mortar attack. I believe 14 men were injured, some injured were Med-Evaced at night and under fire, to the emergency hospital in Tay Ninh. 21st Evac. I think. Any corrections or additional names are welcome.

June 19, 1969 Jack Sweitzer and Tom McMullen (fat albert) were severly wounded by a recoilless rifle round that hit as we ate lunch. The gun had been randomly lobbing in rounds for over a week and was hidden in an abandoned FSB nearby.Two of our six 105mm howitzer crews took direct hits during a night mortar attack.
