Ft Lewis - 1982
As with many of our photos, the dates on these photos are somewhat unclear. They may be MILCON 82 or they may be a weekend exercise.
The first photos are of Sergeant Noel Dykes' Detachment. Silhouetted as he brings his gun into action. He appears to be talking with Second Lieutenant Graeme Stewart in the next two photos and then rolling cam nets in the third one.
The Battery conducts a "Battery Right" shoot.
Unable to make out whose gun this may be. I see an "A" on the door, the tarps rolled back for aircraft sentry but the distance is too great.
Master Bombardier Layne Yoshimaru supervising his gun detachment.
