Camp Radcliff, An Khê, Binh Dinh Province 1970

Note scuffed unshined boots and trouser legs tied with straps
just below my knees , both normal traits of many Army Infantry
soldiers in Vietnam.

I served in 1st Squad 3rd Platoon Company C 1/22 Infantry
September 1970 - May 1971.

Below are some memories of my time with the Regulars By God.

Many thanks to Bob Kuhn (Company B 1/22 Infantry 1971-72) for his
assistance in editing the first drafts of "The Jungle" stories.
