I don't know if that ever happened but the 1/9 guys said that's how they got the walking dead handle. The rumor was then that the NVA was after them because they had gunned some water boo's and cattle that the gooks were using for food on the hoof. It was a like a butcher shop, some of the KIA's had their hands wired together with c rat wire and had been tortured before they killed them. It took us days to get in to the places where they got hit and get all of the body's back and by the end we had at least 3 batt's in the sh*t. I don't know how many KIA and WIA there were but there were more than I had ever seen in one place. I went in on the 2nd with C,1/9 and some of 3/9 on a relief op that went nowhere but down hill in a hurry. On July 2, 67 the Corps had its worst day in Nam 2 1/9 company's A&B were overrun and just about wiped out, north of the trace near rt.561.
