Sounds like you were in the area of the Manchu's (25th Infantry). Just missed French Fort,we worked that whole area in 69 and 70 had a FSB called Blue our platton Sgt. was Hunnsinger and a buddy of mine was at FF Bruce Stiller (short round is what we called him). 0 -

i believe i was there in fall of 68 with 1/27 wolfhounds. my platoon bunkered in the moat and the 105 barrels were over us. when they went off at night i would bounce on the air mattress
