Mortar Attack on Haditha Dam
On 16 May, we had another mortar attack. These
were quite common, and usually did no harm at all. But once in a while the
enemy had a good mortarman and were able to hit their target with tight groups.
The Marines who worked below the dam in Motor Transport, supply, amphibious
tractors, and tanks suffered from these attacks.
We fortified most of the working areas
after this attack, and eventually we moved the tanks to the top of the dam and
the amtracs inside the dam. Injuries were virtually eliminated after
that.
