Ground Casualty
On September 5, 1967, a jeep from C Company, 2nd Battalion, 34th Armor, 25th Infantry Division was traveling on Highway QL-1, approximately seven miles southeast of Duc Pho in Quang Ngai Province, RVN, when it hit a land mine near Bridge 103. The explosion, which left a crater in the ground four feet deep and eight feet wide, was caused by a pressure detonated-type device. It completely destroyed the vehicle and killed its three passengers, including C Company’s commander, CPT William E. Hocker. The other lost personnel were SSG Dieter H. Burger and SP4 David A. Schultz. [Taken from coffeltdatabase.org]
