| Description |
"Lost to the NVA: An infantryman from the 9th Marines carries the tube of a communist 82mm mortar captured near the Laotian border. The mortar was in an enemy munitions cache so big, estimated at 288 tons, it took two Marine companies to carry out all of the captured enemy weapons. In addition, tons of enemy ammunition, including mines, grenades, artillery, and mortar rounds, were destroyed (official USMC photo by Lance Corporal E. E. Hildreth)." From the Jonathan F. Abel Collection (COLL/3611) at the Archives Branch, Marine Corps History Division OFFICIAL USMC PHOTOGRAPH |
