20230426_A421_North Wall251 viewsThe "North Wall" position was actually on the NW perimeter of the camp, 50m to the right and slightly behind the Team House. It was composed of large, house-sized limestone boulders which were an outcrop of Hill 58. There was a small single lane cleft running between the Team House and the North Wall (NW) position; about 25m past the NW was the Medical bunker/dispensary. Visible atop the large central boulder was a sandbagged-roof limestone block bunker. Two U.S. SF personnel manned it every night.
