No kidding! Although, the 109 was painted MERDC and it took approx 2000 lbs of sand to get it all to bare steel.

bumper numbers?
I'm going to "assign" this truck to the unit that my grandfather died in. He assumed command of the 15th Aviation Battalion, 1st Cavalry Division on 6 AUG 1964. The truck is a '63. He was killed in Feb of 65.
So...Do I need more info for bumper #'s? A company #?
Re-reading the newspaper article regarding the memorial service, I found HQ, B, & A companies listed in attendance. Is the C.O. always in HQ? Would his vehicle be HQ-1? (I'm sure it would not be a 109 though.)
Looking through even more info, I found his DA form 52-2(Statement of Casualty) In typical Army jargon following his name, service #, and rank is: RA; INF; HQ & HQ DET, 15TH AVN BN, 1ST CAV DIVISION, KOREA.
