Photos donated by Don Eadie. LZ Flayerty
was named after Lt. Flaherty who drowned in a stream trying to save some of his men.
LZ Flayerty was southeast of Chu Lai across the Song Tra Bong and 5 kilometers south
of the bay. This was the first fire base that Charlie Battery came to after coming in country. The battery stayed there until
after Christmas.

I don't know who either one of these men are. The
one in the back I am sure is the First Sgt. Neither one of these boys seem to be real happy about the days work detail.
I can say this much anyone who was in artillery filled MANY sandbags.
Front left is Dean Foster and front center is Lt. Richmond.
The man standing left of Dean is John Myer. The other men are unknown, they are building the FDC Hootch. Photo
