Final Mission of SP4 Lawrence W. Yochum
Dog handler SP4 Lawrence W. Yochum and his scout dog King (7A65) were from the 59th Infantry Platoon (Scout Dog), 11th Infantry Brigade, Americal Division. On February 13, 1970, they were working with Company A, 4/21, when SP4 Yochum’s dog did an alert on a booby-trap. According to the other scout dog handler present, SGT Zimmerman, Yochum went forward to check it out and detonated the booby-trap with his rifle. He suffered fatal injuries in the blast. SGT Zimmerman and his dog Fritz (3M21) received minor shrapnel wounds in the incident. [Taken from 47ipsd.us]
