‘The Vietnam War: 1945-1975’ at National WWI Museum and Memorial

By the middle of the Vietnam War, the M26A1 / M61 fragmentation was standard issue. The Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) allies, however, still used plenty of surplus WWII weapons — including MK II grenades. For one Veteran, these old “pineapples” were the ideal souvenir to send home. Photo of US troops marking an LZ (landing Zone) courtesy of the National Archives

Vietnam veteran, Sp4 David Flinn, 591st Engineers, left us with this photographic record of his unit’s activities in the A Shau Valley.

Here, Dave photographed this staging area that shows, right to left, an M123 10-ton tractor attached to M15A1 40-ton trailer, M37 3/4-ton truck, unidentified apparatus on wheels, batch concrete mixer on wheels, and unidentified.
