Artillery brings dignity to what would otherwise be just a brawl.

Bud and any others interested. This link is to a big web site for the Ontos and the Anti-Tank Battalions. Lots of pictures and stories. Click here.

Did some more searching, the link is to the guys at Ft. Knox that did a restoration to make this ontos fully functioning. Some of the videos are short, but it works. Ontos

F-yeah! I posted something worthy of a temporary position at the top of the forum!

There's a beautiful Ontos at the Marine Corps Museum. I wish I had taken a photo, but it was quite dark and there was no flash photography. Would have been worth breaking the rules for.

My 0353 MOS says ONTOS all over it, but when I got to Vietnam all the anti-tank companies were full up...I came from 5th Anti-tanks in Okinawa...so I was assigned other duties. But you can thank my father for designing the fire control system back in the early 50's when he worked for Harvey Alum. in Long Beach...he's not only still alive but also a former Marine. I have much respect for my Tarawa Veteran Dad.
