Im Jeffrey PIzarro & im currently trying to do research on your units interaction with the Philippine Marines in 1958 & in 1975 as Im currently writing a book on the early Filipino Amtrackers. In EXERCISE STRONGBACK in March 1958, at Dingalan Bay Philippines, a COLBOWLES USMC & CAPT RICE, CO B Coy 1st Amtrac Bn turned over to the then Philippine Marine Bn 6 units of the LVT3C variant most likely from your unit. In 1975, a new batcjh of Filipino Amtrackers trained at Subic Naval Base w/ elements of your unit ( a Sgt Brown was the only name recalled). Im particularly interested if you may have details of the first 6 amtracs transferred (serial numbers, other details) & info relevant to that event & also any detail related to the training received in 1975; if any of your members who may have pictures of either event (or any other event like exercises and amphibious landing exercises) that they are willing to share id greatly appreciate it; thanks! |
