Re: BATTLE AT THE RACH LACH CANAL, 12 JULY 1967--A,B &C COMPANIES OF 1/27TH WOLFOUNDS

Bill, I too remember the Rach Lach engagement. As the 1st plt. B Co. we were dropped right at the egde of the canal where the water was waist deep. We crossed the canal and found cover to set up a blocking position. I also remember the problems with friendly fire due the closeness of our positions and the enemy in between. As darkness came on we knew it would be a long night. I remember too that the waters there were some of the most leach infested that we had yet encountered. It would be nice to hear from the guy from Hdqt. Co. finance that got on a chopper thinking he was returning to Div. base camp only to be dropped with us in the middle of the action and the middle of the water with his arms full of a stack of files. I hope he's still out there somewhere and enjoying being able to relate that story.
