Welcome to "A" Battery 6/27th Artillery, 23rd FA - The Year is 1969
 
To be in Quan Loi was to experience the red dirt.  In "A" Battery, because of the vibration from the 8" and 175mm guns, this was more red dust then dirt.   When the helicopters flew over the battery to land on the airstrip it was at its worst.  All of us stationed at Quan Loi brought some of that red dust/dirt home with us.
