On the left is one of my Platoon Leaders, Lt. Cartwright.  We were all so young then, fighting a "Grown Man's War".  Young men make better soldiers than older men do.  They ask fewer questions.

The other pictures show us doing a little "reconnaissance by fire", using 40 mm. grenade launchers.  The soldier in the middle picture has perfect form for firing that weapon.
