A-10 C&C
track. Second Platoon tank in the back ground. Note the blown
hatches at all access points. Crew members had been sitting in
the cargo when the land mine detonated just behind and to the
left of the TC cupola. This occurred on returning from Hill 124
during the first attempt to reach LZ Ann (Ong Do Hill), Operation
Napoleon Saline II/Marshall Mountain. Multiple tanks had negotiated
a small tributary stream to the Thach Han River. The exit point
was quite slick with mud. All vehicles prior to A-10 had straddled
the mine. A-10 initial exit from the stream was in good order.
Then slipped to the right loosing some traction. The left track
detonating the mine. January 16th, 1969. Photo by Kevin Dunne.

This is believe
to be a 1st Platoon tank of A Company's 1/77 AR. It has been stated
that the 3rd Platoon was looking for replacement parts once again.
The 3rd always started with the 1st Platoon. Kevin Dunne took this
photo showing the results of a spare parts retrieval mission. Probably
headed up by Phil Venson 3rd Platoon scrounger. Ha! LZ Nancy 1969.
