The
battle journals are brand new clean white copies just received from the
National Archives. I have posted four days of journals
beginning Sept. 4th 1968. This allows the reader to follow events that
lead up to the battle. An ARVN base getting hit, a chopper
going down, 2 or 3 manuver elements receiving fire, etc. It is also
important to note that the fourth Battalion returned to the Buff AO
September 3, 1968 after a 2 month visit to the LZ West AO. The
fourh Battalion relieved the 1/52 of
operational responsibilities
for the Buff AO. Within 48 hours of reoccuping
the Buff AO, the fourth Battalions Recon platoon would be overrun.
