I remember at Chu Lai, there would be spilled bombs
at road intersections. We used to sit on them waiting
for a cattle car. Wish I’d taken some pictures then.
Thanks for being there.
They got lucky once and hit our bomb dump. Luckily
it was the second or third mortar round so the ordinance
guys were in their holes but they lost every thing and
went around in skivvies for a day or so.
My perimeter guard station was not far away but I was
on days then. When I went out the next time there were
all these funny bushes made out of steel sticking in
the ground. Our hut area was a mile or two away but
we could see bombs being carried up in the blast and exploding. Thought it was like a nuke, wave knocked me
over into a fox hole.
