This murkey photo is of me on my first mission at FOB-2 with RT Delaware 1-0 SSG Dahling looking for a NVA unit which ambushed an American convoy between Kontum and Pleiku. Dahling hated that hat.

Point man Yuk…the sorcerer, then 18 years old. Right after he got off the choppers from the mission to look for NVN artillery. I had two other photos of the group as they unassed the choppers…both slides have gone missing.

Pic taken in Sep 1968

RT Delaware indig in their team room September 1968 getting ready for the mission to highway 110.

Picture of RT Delaware 1-0 to be Luk Dove and RT Illinois 1-1 Trammell after the return of their “shake down” mission.

Couple of Sgts fixing their hooch at Fob-2. I used to remember their names. I do remember they weren’t part of the Bull Shiter contingent.

Picture of the club at FOB2. Don (Dave) Davidson and Mike Williams are in the photo which makes the date probable very late Oct 1968, just after Mike and Jimmy Marshall got back from looking for and finding NVA guns in Laos.

Right before I left (31 Oct as I recall), there was a real party behind the RT barracks next to the bunkers. Some serious imbibing was the order of the day. Here Don (Dave) Davidson … later (I heard) a SGM. Again not/NOT one of the Bull Shiters.

Party on 31 Oct 1968 at FOB 2. think the guy talking is SFC Dennison??? not sure of the names.

Jimmy Marshall and a SSG who went on the mission to look for the guns. Pic taken at the 31 Oct party right after RT Delaware returned from the mission. RT Delaware was led by Mike Williams, Jimmy was 1-2… Rodriques was on a shake down training mission with Delaware.

n September 1968 we all were ordered to improved our assigned bunkers. RT Delaware went down to the old 4th inf compound 4 miles down the road and scrounged 8″ beams and sacks of grenades. We Built this bunker with a Sand bag berm behind it. In every alert, senior officers would cluster there because of the protection.

SSG Luk Dove, my replacement as 1-0 Delaware, taken just after his return from a shake-down mission with RT Illinois in October 1968. Shortly after this photo he took over as 1-0 of Delaware. Note the RT Delaware patch I designed on his pocket. Only 20 were made.

Delaware 1-2 Jimmy Marshall and point man Y Yuk Ayun taken in July 68 at FOB 2

FOB-2 Hqs in the East section of the camp, July 1968. The jeep in front likely was stolen from Pleiku. The fob had active “requisition” operations on-going to plus up our logistical structure.

This first one is a picture of my Twin brother Jack Williams and myself taken at B-24 About August 1968. Jack had gone back to Dak Pek from Ben Het and was in to B-24 for the day.
