Photo #4223
Firebreak
Anyone operating in Ha area in the summer of 1967 will remember the firebreak, aka the McNamara line. Gio Linh is at the far end of the clearing, South China Sea just beyond with Dong Ha out of sight to the left. Taken while HMM-163 was still operating sometimes in the area.
Dong Ha would be found to the "right" or south of Gio Linh in this photo. The South China Sea is east of the country. To the left is the DMZ. Sgt. William E. Lyell, USMC, Ret. 11th Engineer Battalion "Builders of the McNamara Line" Wlyell@msn.com
Yes, Dong Ha is to the right not left. My compass failed me, also can't type and tell left from right. Hugh Smith/ hdsmith02@yahoo.com
