a WWII Thompson Machine Gun recovered from a VC cache.

Bob Ehlert & Curtis Irvin doin' some of their best work. . .
2nd Platoon troopers patrolling a river in the Rung Sat Special Zone - none of us liked
ridin' in these stinkin' noisy plastic boats.
M-60 Machine Gunner, Ronnie Bryan and Curtis takin' a break during
another patrol in the Mekong Delta - 2 fine troopers from Missouri.
Curtis (right) posing with captured VC weapons by 2nd
Platoon troopers - anyone recognize the other trooper?
Bob Ehlert (AKA: Big Red) from Minnesota, Bill Varsafsky from
Washington and Curtis from Missouri.
At first glance, you may think these fine 2nd Platoon troopers
are in a brawl, but no. They are simply returning to the USS Benewah completely wasted from a day's R & R at Vung Tau.
