A Note from The Virtual Wall

The 1st Battalion, 1st Marines, lost five men on 29 May 1967.

Two were with Charlie Company:

Strictly speaking, Petty Officer Garner was assigned to H&S Company, but on this day he was in the field as a Corpsman with a patrol from Charlie Company. While returning to base by boat, the patrol came under heavy small arms fire from the shore. The boat Garner was in overturned and he disappeared, apparently drowned; his body was not recovered. Corporal Brogdon died of gunshot wounds; he is buried in the Florence National Cemetery, Florence, SC.

Three men of H&S Company also were killed in action:

  • LCPL Gregory A. Ervin, Santa Susana, CA
  • CPL Ivan W. Gatlin, Houston, TX
  • CPL Frank M. Scarpulla, Baltimore, MD

These men are remembered by their fellow Marines on the
1st Battalion, 1st Marines,
and the
Charlie Company, 1/1 Marines
