Notes:
* Unknown or erroneous unit or Province in CACCF corrected herein.
** Despite discrepancies in Unit and/or Province
included per original web or member's advice. (many of these "double stared"
items have turned out NOT to be men killed while with the 1st Battalion 50th Infantry in
Vietnam....hence we have listed the unit to which they were assigned when killed directly
beneath their names. It is possible they belonged to the unit before coming to
Vietnam, or were transfers...in or out. We have no documentation on the information that
initiated their original listing on our site
***Addition to original KIA List. Name added to Fort Benning Memorial
either in 2011 or 2015.
