the photo could be anywhere from Quang Nghai south to be truth full. Plus there are a couple places near Tam Key up north.

The tank has it's name starting with the letter "A", and that usually means Alpha Troop. My guess is that it's not too far from Cam Rhan Bay.

Hi, Gary. It's A32, Apostle, of 1/69 Armor. Photo was taken July of '67 north of Bong Son. Other pictures are featured in other books, but I cant find the source of this picture, and it's making me crazy.

dang I was fairly close when I said II Corps and the Cam Rhan Bay area. Dead give away is all the palm trees. Wonder why the 1/69th armor was that far east?
