Origins of LZ OD

LZ Olive Drab is under construction. Became home to the 1/35th Inf Bn HQ and "A" Battery, 2/9th. Here is a rare opportunity to fire Charge 1 and see a smoke round land.

Location: We are looking due north. Turning around, we would see LZ Montezuma, later re-named LZ Bronco, and the South China See. We came here to relieve the Marines who were sent further north. Our other two batteries were located nearby at LZ Liz and LZ Mary Lou. We eventually departed LZ OD for Tam Ky in early October.
