The cave-in area that took the lives of 12 Vietnamese women while filling sandbags behind the headquarters building at Camp Camelot. - Jim took this photo just prior to the cave-in.  This is a great photo of early Camelot.  There is not one metal hootch up yet.
Jim took this photo looking from the opposite direction.

The Formation Of The 154th Transportation Company

Below are a few more photos Bernie sent me. Up until now we didn’t know exactly when and where they were taken, but thanks to Larry Sheffey we now do.  Larry was also one of the original 154th members who knew Jim.  They were in the same platoon, and shipped out together to Okinawa and then to Vietnam.  Thanks for the info Larry.

Don't know who the young lady is.  Probably a friend of Jims.  She is standing in front of some memorials.  This is where the Japanese had their last stand against the U.S. forces during WWII.  There is a steep cliff there and many Japanese soldiers jumped off that cliff instead of being taken prisoner.
