Ground Casualty

During the month of October 1965, the 7th Marines, 3rd Marine Division conducted search and destroy operations in southern Military Region I. Mail for the regiment was moved on a daily basis between Da Nang and Chu Lai by couriers from Headquarters Company, 7th Marines. On October 11th, an administrative man and his driver were traveling in a jeep on a mail run near Chu Lai in Quang Tin Province when they hit a cable suspended from a section of a causeway on a beach to a parked LVTP-5 amphibious tractor. Apparently, neither Marine saw the cable which hit both men across the neck, killing them instantly. The lost personnel were driver Pvt Victor R. Parker and LCpl James R. Dischert.
