| Before-and-after views of
G29, that suffered damage from a large anti-vehicular mine. In the first photo,
it is seen fully laden for march and in the second, as it was delivered by
trailer to Long Binh depot during the stand-down of the 2/11th ACR in 1972. This
was one of the last vehicle losses to the unit before standing down. As can be
seen, the explosion has caused the loss of the left front road wheel, and
apparently all of the road wheels on the right side. The driver was blown from
his hatch onto the ground with an injured hand. TC, loader & gunner were blown
off to the sides with minor injuries. Crews were not always so fortunate. (R. Lingle & D. Kibbey photos) |
