burtb71 > 1st & 128th ARTY(I believe) FSB Melonie 1972. They would drop rounds around our ndp's at night to keep The Victor Charley honest.It took awhile to learn to regonize our incoming as opposed to thier's.Mainly ours didn't hit us.! These guys were really good,hats off to you Arty guys.Covered our fanny's more than once!!!!They eventually traded these 105's for 155's. REALLY BIG BANG!!!!!
