439th Signal Battalion

I was told about this film by a former soldier that was with the 5th Battalion, 7th Cavalry in Cambodia, which I ordered and received last week.

 

This documentary was compelling and very well-done (quality footage/interviews) and I would highly ecommend this to anyone that has an interest in the Cambodian Incursion of 1970. Shakey's Hill refers to a trooper from B/5-7 that was killed in action while securing the hill, which in turn came to be called, "The City" because of the absolutely mind-boggling amounts of NVA weapons, munitions, and supplies that were found there.

Got this one on VHS The World of Charlie Company, C Co 2nd of the 7th Cav, done around the same time by CBS. It's viewable on YT but I always prefer the T.V. for some reason, Old Fashion I guess :D

Same, I've got both on VHS. 2 of my all time favorite documentaries. I love when they ask his one buddy how he got the nickname "Shakey", and he just smiles and says something like "because we noticed he had a speech impediment while drunk". True Grunts.
