My uncle was in the MARS Task and I have those same pictures. Do you have any info on who took the pictures or locations where they were taken. I have about 150 pictures from the time he was there.

Great photos! I love anything to do with the MARS Task Force. I met a Veteran who was with them. He was in a mule pulled artillery unit, using small pieces in the jungles.
Is there any ID on what specific duty these guys are?

Specifically the Veteran was in the 613th Field Artillery (Pack)

Yes, I'd swear I've seen these before, with the first picture with a caption pointing out the parachute lining the fox hole. How did these photos get spread around? Great photos, but I don't think "good enough" to be Army Signal Corps.

I am guessing someone in the unit had a camera and made copies for thier buddies. The question is who?
