This shot is a little closer showing the 105, behind them were the sp 155's.  anyways, at the tree line above the distant 105, is another killer junior at the top of the trees.

This is Annihilator. and just above the end of the barrel is another killer junior just above the tree line.  we also, shot killer juniors, but mainly at night and a bit more distant towards the right of the gun as shown.  notice the COFRAN rounds in the foreground.

Sgt. Steve Johnson and our Btry dog "George".  We are riding on an 8 - inch howitzer; probably going on a raid or to a new FSB.  I would say a raid, as we did a lot more of them than moves.
