Info Sheet - Jim Silas Traw
Killed in Action 9 May 1968
……………………………………………………………………………
Bob Acker: Jim Traw served in D Troop in 1968 only. We had been friends since AIT at Ft. Eustis. He was in D Troop only a matter of days when he was killed in his hootch during a 122mm rocket attack.
Jim Kreil: The rocket attack that killed Jim also dropped a couple rounds into E Company, 725th Maint Battalion where I was. I believe two men were wounded. We were getting rockets every night. The two wounded men hadn't gone to bunkers as all were ordered to do. Their wounds were minor. They were given Article 15 punishment.
