"Eldredge knows more about my
old outfit than I do! Reading
his work I relived the whole
thing just as it happened."
-- Col. Robert Breaks CO, 2nd Chemical Mortar Battalion

of heavy mortar support from gun squads who
endured the dirt of combat...unique in style
and presents a classic history of the 
battalion’s 511 days of combat service.”
-- Col. Sam Efnor XO 2ndChemical Mortar Battalion CO 83rd Chemical Mortar Battalion
“I don’t  know  how,  but  he  knows
what  it  was  like to be there. Maybe in some
previous  life he served in a mortar squad.”
