The Mighty Ninth

Strive To Reach The Summit

"Base Camp" - Jan 1966; FDC Trailer brought over from Hawaii
Center & Right: PFC Richard A. Williams & Sp4  Larry L. Black. They are shaving facing the FDC.  We had been in-country from two to four days at this point.  The  FDC for "B" Battery was a 3/4-ton truck with generator.   The FDC was known as the "Pink Kitty"; it was pink inside.  It was made of plywood and brought over from Hawaii.   See next photos for the progression of our FDC housing.
Our "wash area" is located where my right foot is.
