A Note from The Virtual Wall The 7th Marines lost three men in two separate incidents on 10 June 1967. The 7th Marines' Intelligence Summary (INTSUM NR 161) covering the period 100800H to 110800 June 1967 identifies both incidents in the entries below (they have been "translated" for readability). The first killed two men from HQ Company: "1410H, 10 June: HQ Company squad working party improving the perimeter defensive wire tripped an antipersonnel mine of unknown type resulting in one Marine killed, one Marine who died of wounds, and two Marines wounded but not requiring evacuation." The two men were Cpl Lawrence C. Thompson of New York City and LCpl Gregory C. Coin of Detroit, Michigan. The second incident involved Golf Company: "1905H, 10 June: Golf Company squad at grid coordinates AT894836 returning from patrol. Marine dropped an unidentified grenade which had been found earlier. Grenade detonated resulting in one Marine killed and 4 Marines wounded (3 evacuated)." The Marine killed in the accident was LCpl Milton H. Thomas of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
