Mine damage to B-11. Lost the first two sets of road wheels
on the port side. Kind of rattle's your cage. We got towed back
to Dong Ha forward and had it repaired in about two days.

Wayne Smull, Joe Torres and Lloyd Reynolds at the "Rock Pile" position.
The "Razorback" is in the background. The grunts kept a squad up on

U.S. Army M-42, twin 40 mm Duster in our tank slot at the "Rock Pile"
position. This thing didn't have the range, accuracy or power of our
90 mm gun, but they sure could put out a large volume of fire. They
covered our position while we were out on operations.
