Johnson of Richmond, VA, and 1LT Thurston A. Griffith of Los Alamos, NM. Both men were West Point graduates, Captain Johnson with the Class of 1958 and 1LT Griffith with the Class of 1962.The article quoted above says that 1LT Griffith "was reported missing on New Year's Day 1965". The Army Adjutant General's casualty database (the TAGCEN file) says that he was killed outright on 17 Jan 1965 but that his body was not recovered at once. The TAGCEN also says Captain Johnson's death was reported on 20 Jan 1965 when his body was recovered; date of death is given as 17 Jan 1965. |
