BOB WHITE
The last two men who were killed on the same day Olgyay & Miller were Team Members on a mission to recon an abandoned firebase. The area was booby trapped and when they were attacked they took cover in a bunker that had a tripwire with explosives at the end. These men were killed immediately, and a third member was blind from the blast.
I knew all three very well, happened only 9 days before I left for home.
