According to Louis Fenceroy's sister Josephine, he loved to play the clarinet and he loved to draw. Louis was a member of Charlie Company's Second Platoon. During Operation Lamar Plain on the afternoon of 21 May 1969, the second and third platoons charged across an open rice paddy to assault a small but heavily fortified hill. Many men were wounded before making across the rice paddy but Louis made it to the base of the hill. From there he climbed over a stone wall and moved up the hill. He, his platoon leader and a few other men had reached a second stone wall where they took cover from enemy fire coming from further up the hill. In moving up the hill they had passed by a number of spider holes and enemy soldiers rose up from them and fired up the hill such that Fenceroy and the others were taking fire from both the front and rear. Louis Fenceroy was struck by an enemy bullet and died immediately without suffering. He is remembered by those with whom he served. |
