43613 Lieutenant John Martin, survey officer with Detachment 131 Divisional Locating Battery (in hat) and Captain Phil Perrin, OC of Detachment 131 Divisional Locating Battery (and who was also the Task Force Artillery Intelligence Officer) examine the 105mm M2A2 howitzer damaged by the attacks on Fire Support Base (FSB) Coral by troops of the North Vietnamese Army's (NVA) 7th Division. FSB Coral was temporarily overrun by the NVA and the 105mm howitzer was damaged by a satchel charge. It was subsequently withdrawn for repair and had just entered the workshops when this image was taken. The Landrover in the background (ARN 111-467) bears the Detachment's tactical sign '47'.
The gun is preserved in the national collection as REL26769.
