Photos 07-21 show scenes at LZ Bartlett, an
artillery camp at which 1/21st Artillery was stationed. If you can identify any of the
guys, please let us know. Bobby Legore is on the right in Photo 8 and John Parkey is
sitting on the left in Photo 9. Photo 10 is the mortar platoon FDC. Photo 11 is a wooden
plaque on the "Little Church", listing names of the 2/7th Cav people killed in
action up to that time. The "Little Church", shown in Photos 12 and 13 was built
by members of the 1/21st Artillery. The Mess Hall, Photos 14-16, was also built by
artillery unit members and was a popular eating place for all the troopers. In these
pictures, it had been decorated for Christmas 1967. Bob Ross, the "Chef" is
standing in back. He was one of the ones who built the Mess Hall. Photos 17-19 show
preparations for a patrol and Photos 20-21 are pages from a notebook Dean Tucker kept,
providing information from briefings the platoon received before going out on a mission.
