A Note from The Virtual WallThe 3rd Bn, 3rd Marines' operations log for 09 Nov 1966 contains the following entry:"At approx 1845-1850H [6:45 PM] 2nd plt "I" Co received 3 rounds of small arms fire. All Marines were in fighting holes trying to observe where fire was coming from when an unknown explosion occured on the parapet of 2 Marines who were in their fighting holes. It is believed that the explosion was an 82mm [mortar] round which killed one Marine immediately and severely wounded the second. At approx 1915-1930 the second Marine died from wounds."There is an entry at 0937, 10 July correcting the nature of the explosion: "Correction to spot report 091930H. At coordinates 981580 the death of two Marines was caused by an accidental discharge of an M26 grenade and not by a 82mm mortar as previously reported."The two men were PFC Ronnie H. Bintliff and PFC Charles L. Roberts of Oregon City, Oregon. They are remembered on the India 3/3 Memorial . |
