Hunt Holden.

Our M-60 man Hunt Holden is preparing his C-ration dinner. He is setting on the M-60. I hope I didn't carry the tripod for this gun all those weeks so he could have a chair. This looks like a reel feast. He is adding onions to it.

The man with him will be Spanky. Spanky always taped his trouser legs up like that to help keep the leeches off him. I see he has a beer. By his right foot you can see one of our popup flares. These are used to mark our position during an air strike. We would be using green for friendly and red to mark the VC position.
