A Note from The Virtual WallMarine Aircraft Group 12 (MAG-12) was established at Chu Lai at the end of June 1965 with VMA-225, VMA-311, and VMA-214 (all with A-4 aircraft) assigned.On 08 July 1965 then-Staff Sergeant Bram and Gunnery Sergeant Dingwall left Chu Lai Air Base for a hike in the surrounding countryside. They were last seen in a local hamlet. Later on 08 July local South Vietnamese police reported that the Viet Cong had captured and killed two Americans and then buried their bodies. This report led to a muster of the unit and the discovery that Sergeants Bram and Dingwall were missing. A search of the area in which they were last seen produced hearsay information that the two had been captured, but there was conflicting information on what happened afterwards. The two men were declared missing and were carried in that status for a decade. The Secretary of the Navy approved Presumptive Findings of Death for Sergeant Bram on 21 January 1975 and for Sergeant Dingwall on 19 September 1978. Their remains have not been recovered. |
