<p>[QUOTE=&quot;longnine009, post: 7773470, member: 1886&quot;]Vietnam token: 6/15 ARTY:&nbsp; 5c, brass, M/A, 4.4 grams, 21mm, Cunningham VN2520</p><p>same both sides</p><p><br /></p><p>The 6th Battalion 15th Field Artillery Regiment, call sign &quot;Deadly,&quot; was camped mostly at Lai Khe. They&nbsp; were the Artillery for 1st Infantry Division.&nbsp; They were a 105mm Howitzer towed artillery battalion. Towed artillery, I think,&nbsp; being those&nbsp; pieces with short barrels. At least that&#039;s what it sounds like. Still, seems like those long barrel Howitzers would also be towed by something. I&#039;m still sorting this out. Towed artillery may simply be artillery that&#039;s not self-propelled?</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;6/15&nbsp; was in nine major campaigns in Vietnam. During the Tet campaign they were assigned to the defense of Saigon where they successfully conducted counter battery operations against&nbsp; enemy mortar positions.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1333293[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
