Default LIFE - Larry Burrows - AC-47 tracer fire, Vietnam 1966

I went to the site and started going through the images. Very powerful
stuff. Brings back lots of memories. Then, came across the photo of the
Marine in the creek with "mortar" equipment. Supposedly they were close to
the DMZ. Makes sense. However, the guy in the picture isn't carrying any
mortar equipment. He's got a 3.5 inch bazooka on his right shoulder
(disassembled for easy handling) and a shell for it in the other hand. At
least that's what it looks like to me. What you can't see are the leeches
he's picking up.
Regards, Tom in Pensacola 2/265th RRC, 2nd Brigade, 101 Airborne RVN
