They did this one at 2 fire bases the second part is LZ Blackhawk I knew several of these guys. Spent a lot of night on Guard Duty in the tall tower. The first Blackhawk picture is of the perimeter wire and lights taken at night. I kept these on and had to replace the burnt out ones at night on the poles. The 2 big long barreled 175mm guns were right next to where I slept next to my 60 KW generator I kept running 24 hours a day to keep the lights on. I was not part of the group of guys but did mess around with them. I hung out with the Arty Guys cause I loved the big guns. The young girls did our laundry and other things for moral. They lived in the village near the base just outside the wire. Thanks for looking it was a different time for me and glad I was there and glad someone did the videos so I could see it once more. I have lots of pictures but these I have not seen before and brings back some good thoughts from a bad war. Might be a repeat one not sure now?
