Anchor2.JPGLZ AnchorIn a very serious tactical error, "A" Battery was sent to re-occupy LZ Anchor due to previous battle successes in the area. Our enemy wasn't that stupid. A 250-lb Air Force dud was buried in our sump area. Fortunately, it was buried very deeply to avoid detection. When it was set off at dusk, it caused a couple of concussions and eardrum injuries, but no fatalities. We were ordered to leave the next day. Had the bomb been closer to the surface, "A" Battery would have likely been wiped out.Mar 30, 2008
