That's brilliant.
Interesting to note that there are no jeeps...any Idea when they would have joined the unit or been issued? Padre Jock Anderson (MC and bar) stated that his LC grounded on a wreck and he and his truck had to be ferried ashore by a Rhino. They ended up being lost and spent the night hiding behind enemy lines, rejoining the unit on the next morning. My carrier is dressed up as the Mortar Pl Comd'rs carrier driven ashore by Nels Hillborn, one of our last living BURON vets. He was delighted by the project when he first saw it. He climbed aboard with a big grin on his face, looked around and said 'where's the tarp?" Funny about the glimpses you get into these old buggers lives... It hit me like a bat that , while his infantry buddies only had a shelter half for cover, he could stretch his tarp out and live in relative luxury...
