I truly do hope this history is being downloaded and kept by the present day battalion out at Camp Flores on Pendleton. Every bit of this should be on the walls in the Company A CP or Battalion area.

Some background. I took my Polaroid camera when I went over in March of 1968. I later bought a 35mm Yashica at the Airforce PX at the airport.

I was company clerk for Alpha Company under Top Barker. When SgtMaj found out I had a Polaroid, I became his picture taker for award citations and stuff. He'd send someone to borrow Overton and his camera. I remember he had the saltiest utilities I had ever seen. They'd been washed so many times they were almost white. Also, this was before we got camouflage utes.
