HHSB 2/33 ARTY LAI KHE SOUTH VIETNAM 1967 THRU 1969
JUST GETTING STARTED
For you first time visitors let me say this is a work in progress. We have started small and hope to get bigger and more comprehensive in our coverage of DUNGEON 52. We hope to add the Batteries we worked with and hopefully be a source to aid in contacting friends and comrades who served during this time period. All additional information is welcome.

I was assigned to Alpha Battery at FSB Gela where I met Del Hiesterman, who was in FDC. I was an FO with Delta, 1/28th out of Gela. Back then I was known as Lt. Rod. Alpha Battery fired many, many missions for me while I was with the infantry. Alpha did a great job for us. In December 2014, Del and I returned to Vietnam and we found all the old sites where we served in '69. It was a memorable trip.

I was with Dungeon 52 from January, 1969 until March, 1970. For the first half of my tour I worked the radios communicating with the batterys in the field. The last half of my tour I worked the radio as Lai Khe Arty, communicating with all of the aircraft that passed through our area. Names I remember are Pat McQueen, Phil Ruggerio, Harry Hogshead, Jim Duncan, Kenny Hester and Mike? Simpson (OJ). There were so many more but the name have been forgotten as the time has passed but not the faces.
Some may remember me as Jim Thomson or just Thomson.
