Lou Smotek and Fitz prepare to connect the base of the 81mm mortar tube to the baseplate. A camouflaged poncho is hung over the opening to the ammo bunker for the gun pit to keep the rain out.

Many thanks to Mike Stewart, former 3/7 Mortar man, for supplying
this great photo for inclusion in the scrapbook.
