A Note from The Virtual Wall

On 19 January 1968 Bravo 3/12 Infantry was conducting a company-size sweep in the tri-border area of Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia about 10 miles west of Dak To in Kontum Province, South Vietnam. The company was ambushed by North Vietnamese regulars and nearly overrun.

Six men disappeared during Bravo's disengagement from the ambush:

  • SP4 Paul W. Robinson, Tupelo, MS
  • PFC William E. Brunn, Wilkes-Barre, PA
  • PFC Dennis E. Fuller, Santa Fe Springs, CA
  • PFC William D. Johnson, Rocky Mount, NC
  • PFC Johnny W. Lindsey, Fredonia, KY
  • PFC Franklin E. Sollars, Williamsport, OH
A subsequent search of the battle area turned up the bodies of five men, but no trace of PFC William Darrell Johnson was found. Johnson was carried as Missing in Action, and was promoted while in that status, until 20 February 1979, when a Presumptive Finding of Death was approved by the Secretary of the Army. His remains have not been repatriated.
