What's New at 6/27th Artillery Vietnam
 


03-18-08    Added "Evan McIntire's Quan Loi Images 1968-1969"

 

Evan McIntire's Quan Loi Images 1968-69
Most of us stationed in Vietnam took some things for granted - Mail Call, for instance.  Come rain, sleet etc....How did that letter from your wife, sweetheart or whomever get to you in Quan Loi or wherever you were located! With the help of your diligent APO (Army Post Office) staff members, naturally.  Another fellow G.I. just doing his job.  Evan McIntire shares a few photos from his Quan Loi days forty years ago, including shots of the 1st Infantry Division APO and the Quan Loi PX.  Find them here.
 


03-12-08    Added "Finally Flying" by Ralph Porter

 

Ralph Porter Joined the Army to Fly
Well, things don't always work out as you plan but Ralph got to fly while he was in the Army anyway.  In "Finally Flying" Ralph remembers how going Artillery got him up in the sky.  It's an interesting story by a dedicated volunteer soldier.


12-19-07    Added "Vietnam Images - 1969 - Phuoc Vinh" - Photos by Bill Sponseller

 

Phuoc Vinh - Charlie Battery - 1969 Photos
William "Bill" Sponseller who served  at Phuoc Vinh has provided us with images of his time with Charlie Battery and some photos of "going home".  Bill joins others from Charlie in our attempt to document the 6/27th Artillery time in Vietnam.  Click Here to check them out - I think you will enjoy seeing them, especially and vintage shot of Norm Wolfinger (See below) in khakis at Ft. Sill.


12-17-07    Added 1965-66  Ft. Bliss, Texas - Photos by Maurice McRoberts

 

Maurice McRoberts Remembers Ft. Bliss 1965-1966
When th 6/27th Artillery shipped out from Ft. Bliss, Texas to Vietnam Maurice McRoberts was the only one in his gun section to go as he had four months left of his service obligation and back then the Army needed troops in VN.  Maurice did not have a camera for his short Vietnam tour but he did send us some nice shots of Ft. Bliss, Texas where the 6/27th Artillery trained before shipping out. Click Here to see.


11-29-07    Added "Vietnam Images 1969 to 1970" by Dennis Camp

 

Vietnam Images from Dennis Camp

Headquarters Battery member Dennis Camp - 1969 to 1970, has contributed over fifty photos of HHB at Quan Loi, Baseball Stars at Quan Loi, Bravo Battery at Song Be as well as photos of An Loc and the 6/27th Artillery Civic Action Projects to list a few.  One of Dennis' many duties was to edit the 6/27th Battalion newsletter, "The Cannon-Ear".  Dennis has some new and interesting photos in his galleries.      Click Here to view his them.


11-29-07      Added 1965 Aerial Quan Loi Frenchman's Pool Area Photos

 

Unique Aerial Quan Loi Photo Surfaces
Many thanks to resent visitor to the site who passed on a link to a site of personal photos which contained what seems to be a "one of a kind" aerial photo of the Quan Loi "Frenchman's" Pool Area from around 1965.  I was able to track down the owners of the photo as received permission to include it on the site.  The owner wishes to remain
"Anonymous".  Anyone who served at Quan Loi will find it interesting because it was taken before anyone from the U.S. Army arrived to make any changes.  Click Here to view.


10-19-07      Added "Vietnam Images - 1969"  photos by Chuck Clarke

 

Images of Vietnam - 1969
Chuck Clarke had eight and one half months remaining of his service time when he was shipped to Vietnam.   He spent six of those with Alpha Battery on #4 Gun and as a driver for CPT Hoffman working on 6/27th Arty civic action projects including the An Loc Girl/Boy Scout Troop. His remaining time was with Service Battery hauling supplies in convoy up Hwy 13 to the various 6/27th Batteries.  I think you will find his photos interesting, especially his convoy photos.  Check them out.


10-19-07      Added a new Map Room Link Page - May be accessed from Links on Home Page

 

Map Room Added to the Website
Where the hell was Quan Loi?  Where in the World is the place I was stationed at while with the 6/27th Artillery in Vietnam?  Maps are an absolute necessity in the piecing together of any history and the 6/27th Artillery's is no different.   We have always used maps, but until now there has not been a central place on the website from which to easily access those maps when the need arouse.  I believe that need is now addressed with the addition of a map page for the site.  Now available as a navigational link on the top of each page of the site it should be much easier to view both the maps hosted on this site as well as some of the best Vietnam maps sites on the web.  Explore it here.
 


 

10-10-07      Added   Ken Wright's   A Meeting With A Mine

10-10-07      Added - Stars and Strips August 14, 1969 - Reporting August 12-13, 1969 Quan Loi Ground Attack - Courtesy Sharon & Robert W. Smith

 


09-30-07       Added Jeff Gahagan's Remembering Charlie Battery 1969-70

 

Jeff Gahagan's Remembering Charlie Battery 1969-70
It has been the policy of this site not to publish photos without the express permission of the owner of those photos.  In January of this year Bill Sponseller forwarded photos sent to him by Jeff Gahagan.  I have attempted to contact Jeff on several instances to obtain permission as has Bill Sponseller and we have had no luck.  It is Bill'
s belief that Jeff granted permission went he sent the photos to him.  These are interesting as well as quality photos, and after several months of wrestling with the problem of no direct permission, I have relented and decided to share them with you.  Click here to view them.   Jeff, Please advise if you object.

 


08-03-07       Added Ken Wright's Vietnam Videos 1970-71

 

Ken Wright's Vietnam Videos

A great addition to the site has  recently arrived  from Ken Wright, #1 Gun Chief, Charlie Battery, 1970-71.  Between September 1970 and April 1971 Ken shot 8mm film of Charlie Battery as it moved from Fire Support Base to FSB in Vietnam.  Last year Ken's son transferred this film to VHS video and recently Ken had those tapes transferred to DVD.  Ken was generous to share some of those movies with us. 

In order to expedite download and viewing the video has been split into four parts and set up as Windows  Video Media files.  Two versions of each part were made - one for faster broadband users and one for dial-up users.  The versions are identical but viewing size is smaller for the dial-up user.  Even then, the files range from 42-45 Mbs for broadband and  22-26 Mbs each for dial-up users.  It may require your patience to load and view each part, but I think you will find it worth your time.  Click Here to start viewing.  Thanks again, Ken!!!

 


07-18-07       Added "North Star Five Niner, Over" by Gary Graham 

 

"North Star Five Niner, Over"

After a long absence, Gary Graham, a frequent past contributor of stories and photos to the site, has finally added a new story, and it's a good one.  An oilfield service company's slogan back home in Oklahoma came to mind every time Alpha Battery FDC received a particular radio message with the call sign "North Star Five Niner, Over" in 1969. In this story Gary takes us through the procedures of a fire mission in FDC.  This you find it interesting.

 

 


06-18-07       Added "Vietnam Photos - 1967 to 1968" by David Peart

 

David Peart's Vietnam Photos 1967-68

Recently I received an email with an offer of possible photos of Quan Loi to add to the site.  A quick check of David Peart's Picasa photo album page was enough to convince me that they all would make a good addition.  The former Big Red One Lieutenant's album contains 160 photos from August 1967 to August 1968 of Quan Loi, An Loc, Lai Khe, Phu Loi, Hwy 13 and surrounding countryside as well as other locations in VN.  The album will return you to places you may remember from those times forty years ago.  Rather than duplicate the work David had done with his album I thought it would be fun for you to see the photos in David's original album.  Click Here to see them and learn about David's time in Vietnam.  Thanks David for sharing your photos with us!

04-27-07       Added Selected Documents From the National Archives

 

History in the Raw
If you are interested in history in the raw, check out some selected U.S. Army documents on a new page of this website.  Many thanks to Ralph Porter who passed on copies of selected 6/27thArty Operational Reports as well as selected 2/11thACR Daily Staff Journals he obtained from the U.S. National Archives.  Copies of documents will be added to this page as they are received by this website if deemed relative to the 6/27thArty Vietnam and/or Quan Loi, etc.  Check out these PDF files here.  If you have copies of documents you received from the National Archives or some other official body you would like to share with this website, please forward copies to the webmaster at the address below.

04-15-07       Added "A History of French Rubber Plantations in Vietnam"

 

A History of French Rubber Plantations in Vietnam

Many of us were assigned to duty stations in Vietnam in or near a French rubber plantation.  Ever wonder how these French plantations got their start?  Now you can learn about this period of Vietnam and French colonial history there. A French website (translated here) supplies many of the details in that history.  Thanks to the diligent research and gracious generosity of François Denis FIEVEZ, the publisher, original early photos and documents are reproduced here that tell the story of the plantations including the Quan Loi Terres Rouges Rubber Co.  Check out "The epopee of Rubber" along with lot's of other interesting things on his website.  Click Here to start.

 

04-02-07       Added  "HHB Photos - March 68 to May 69" by Rod "Pete" Petras

 

Rod "Pete" Petras' HHB Photos

A new group of eighteen photos from Rod "Pete" Petras is on the site today.  Rod served with HHB from March, 1968 to May, 1969.  The group includes a couple of photos of Phouc Vinh with the remainder of Quan Loi.  Two photos of our fallen brother, Robert Brupbacher are also included in the group and have been linked to his "In Memoriam" page.  Click Here to see them.

 


03-29-07       Added " Views From Gun # 4 - Jan 1969 to March 1970" by Robert Moore

 

Robert Moore's " Views From Gun # 4 - Jan 1969 to March 1970"

Bob Moore served on Gun #4, a 175mm, with Alpha Battery for almost thirteen months.  During his tour he took photos during much of that time.  Here, in nine galleries, Bob shares over 110 of his photos.  The fog of thirty-eight passing years has settled over Bob memory, just as it has over each of ours.  Some soldier's name's are not known and once again we need that "collective memory" we have established here to offer some help.  Let us know if you recognize an unidentified soldier in any of the galleries.  Also included in the photos is a turn in the field that also could use identification.  We think you will enjoy viewing Bob's photos from the past.  Click Here to see them.



03-07-07       Added "The Ocean Journey of the 6/27th Artillery Equipment" by Wesley Jefferies

 

Wesley Jefferies' The Ocean Journey of the 6/27th Artillery Equipment
Well, it took a little more time to wrap up the fifty plus pages of this photo/audio story from Wesley Jefferies then originally planned. Join us as we return to 1965 for a fascinating ocean journey from Ft. Bliss, Texas to Vietnam.  Contributing many new pieces to finishing the historical puzzle of the 6/27th Artillery Vietnam, Wesley's photos and his audio commentary (excerpts from a Skype interview taped January 31, 2007) are a great addition to the site.  We trust you will agree.   Take the trip now.  Bon Voyage!  Many thanks, Wesley, for sharing your memories of that voyage.
If you have photos of the troop ship crossing on the USNS Gordon, please consider contributing them to the site!  Drop us an email at abattery6-27tharty@quanloi.org
