Default Request help in ID'ing Arty Observation/Mortar Hill, in Vietnam 1970-71

To my brothers,

I was a Marine Cpl, in Vietnam, from June 1970-Mar 1971. I was on a
Artillery Observation Hill, Hill 250 or Hill 255, outside An Hoa, but
I'm not sure if the #'s are correct, after 30 years. We encompassed
mortars & machine guns, & observation equipment. We had a very
"horny" German Shepherd, & a Dutch Marine, who showed us how
to cook a giant "Millipeed", in water, during a food shortage.

At night, or early morning, we could use the night vision telescope to
watch the villagers wash clothes, or bathe, in the small river that
ran alongside their village.

Our "hootches" were half-pipes, covered with sandbags.

If anyone recalls this Hill, please respond to this post.

TIA
