This is
what the first guard posts looked like. They were temporary.
Very temporary. They had no communications between the
posts. Only the corner guard posts, probably five, had
phones. The rest of us sat in silence.
The photo
was taken behind the bunker I was in every night during March
1969. They were just starting construction of roads and
buildings for the units being transferred to FLC. In the
background is the last bunker in the line. It had a radio.
In front of us was the reservoir and beyond a Buddhist burial
site, Highway 1, Red Beach, and Da Nang Bay.
Behind the
bunker in the background another 100 yards or so was
headquarters for FLC. That's where I worked. The
Photo-Lab.
