Doug:
I am reading a book by Jim Watson relating his experiences in the SEAL teams. He tells a story about a VC mine they recovered in an op in a river. They brought the mine ashore on base to let EOD guys check it out. It must have had some kind of timed trigger because it exploded, killing three guys and severely injuring Watson. The reason for the sotry is that there is a photo in the book of two trucks that were positioned so their lights illuminated the mine for the EOD team. They are rather torn up in the after expolsion photo, but having ownbed an M715, I am quite sure that is what they were. Perhaps contact could be made with Jim Watson to get his input as well. I could send a copy of the picture if it is not illegal to do so. Probably not if I credit Jim and his book. One of my problems is that I am at work, and the title of the book escapes me. I think it is "Point Man"
