| Looking out across the valley with the regimental ammo dump you can see a long puff of smoke in the middle of the picture. An 8 inch gun had just fired one of its huge shells off towards the Chinese. | And a volley is fired from the artillery position looking North from the previous picture. There definitely is some heavy action going on at the front to get this amount of artillery action. | |

| An ambulance (meat wagon) in the lower center of the pictures heads towards the front, some 10 miles or so North. The smoke from another artillery volley is clearing at the right of the picture. | I was pulled from reserves area and moved back on line. My old Battalion had been pulled from its position on the left flank behind OP Dick to a position defending outpost Harry and the MLR behind it. This photo was taken as I drove into Regimental Headquarters in search of a potable water-truck for the Battalion. It had changed a lot since winter. | |

| I returned to Regimental Headquarters to see if I can beg, borrow, steal, or scrounge a water truck. The truck which had been delivering potable water to the front had been disabled by a mortar hit that riddled its radiator and left it stranded in the middle of a field. Note how Headquarters has been spiffed up since the earlier photos taken during the winter. Click here for a closer look. | I returned to the rear again and took this picture of Lt. Horowitz petting some Korean's pet rabbit. I was struck that 5 miles or so North of here people were killing each other by the thousands but life still goes on. There's gotta be a message in there somewhere. | |
