The Mighty Ninth

Strive To Reach The Summit

The 500,000th 105mm round fired in combat
B/2/9 holds the distinction of firing the "1/2 Millionth" round in Vietnam.  Looks like they chose a Willy Peter round.  Good choice.  Photo by Terry Stuber; contributed by J. William Ward. That "broken wrench" was the latest technology in setting a time fuze.  The benchmark round was fired from LZ Uptight.
