THE WALL OF FACES

SP4 Edward J. Doggett was a military policeman serving with the 160th Heavy Equipment Maintenance Company. On the evening of October 20, 1971, Doggett was in his company’s billets at Camp Addison located on National Route QL-19, five kilometers (3.0 miles) southwest of An Nhon city in Binh Dinh Province, RVN. At approximately 6:00 PM, he began vomiting and stopped breathing. Doggett was transported to the 152nd Medical Dispensary where medical staff performed an external heart massage to successfully revived him. He was flown by helicopter to the 67th Evacuation Hospital at Qui Nhon where he was dead on arrival at 7:15 PM. A subsequent autopsy determined Doggett died from a subarachnoid hemorrhage (bleeding in the space that surrounds the brain). He was 21 years old.
