The following article is taken from The Philadelphia Daily News, special supplement entitled 'SIX HUNDRED AND THIRTY,' October 26, 1987. The special supplement was issued in conjunction with the dedication of the Philadelphia Viet Nam Memorial. Barott's life was the Army. He had assignments in Japan, Korea, Germany and the Dominican Republic before becoming commanding officer of the 2nd Battalion, 27th Infantry, 25th Infantry Division, in Viet Nam in May 1966. Barott, 38, was killed on November 4, 1966, while leading his battalion into a ferocious battle at Dau Tieng, Tay Ninh Province, in an effort to free another battalion pinned down by heavy enemy fire. The lieutenant colonel was postumously awarded the Silver Star. He was survived by his wife, two sons, three daughters and his mother.
