Jim was with the lst Engineer Battalion 1st Inf. Div.
He was a Engineer that was in the
JUNCTION CITY Op. I and II achieved very significant results. The
tabulated materiel results are attached as the last page of this narra-
tiave. Not all of the units participating in Operation JUNCTION CITY
had a chance to participate in one of these pitched battles. Those who
did made the VC pay dearly for the mistaken idea that they could overrun
a BIG RED ONE position. Other units contributed in other important ways.
The lst Engineer Battalion, for instance, constructed two new airfields
in War Zone C and erected a new bridge capable of carrying tanks across
the SAIGON River into the zone. Highway 13 was held open for military
traffic almost continuously for three months from SAIGON to QUAN LOI.
