—”Lug-a-lugs?”

GOT TO BE IT!!!

!THAT WAS MY UNIT!

1st Brigade, 5th Infantry Division (Mechanized)
B Company 1-11, Fifth Infantry Division

I was a small cog in REMAGEN.
IIRC it was the largest armored assault since WWII??

GOT TO BE IT!!!

But I have zero recognition of the name?
And recover more than a few of them.
But do not recall any cardboard, perhaps that had run short?
Definitely, some were one inside of another.

THANK YOU!

Looks like you are on the right track here. Can’t find a pic though.
