Special thank you to Benson Bell, webmaster, for allowing usage of photos courtesy of his website "4.2 Deuce Mortar Platoon and the 2/12th Infantry" at www.southern-customs.com/4-2.html; one of the original 2/12th members. (Posted 2/28/2012)
Many photos in these collections showing the building of Camp Rainier. According to Bill, when they arrived in Dau Tieng, there was nothing there except for a partial runway full of mortar holes.
