Honor Him
In September the Battalion engaged the enemy in Operation KINGFISHER in the Gio Linh District of Quang Tri Province. Heli-lifted to Camp Carroll Companies I and L were placed under the OPCON (Operational Control) of the 9th Marines. The Companies relieved two units of the 9th Marines at their defensive perimeter in the vicinity of Thon Trung An south of Route 606 and assumed patrols in their sector. On September 9 during a patrol while in contact with enemy forces Cpl Chamberlin was wounded and evacuated to the USN Hospital Ship the USS Repose where he died several days later from the fragmentation wounds he had sustained by hostile mortar fire.
