My name is Mike Burke (Sgt) with C Btry 2/17 Arty 1st Field Force in Ban Me Thout.
Our Unit spent a lot of time in and out of Camp Bu Prang from 69- 70. In Oct 70 I was sent to Bu Prang as a Artillery advisor to assist Det A-237 5th SF. The Commanding Officer according to my paperwork was Cpt Victor Strokin. I'm trying to gain information on contacting Victor Strokin and or anyone who can help me with information on the signifigence of Bu Prang itself.
We, C Btry 2/17th, had KIA there in 69 and got pounded on pretty hard. We're looking for any information you guy's can help us with on Bu Prang. We have our own website now and we're an Assc. We could use any information that you can provide on Bu Prang and Duc Lap. I have photo's of the Camp Bu Prang that I took in Oct. of 1970 if anyone whold like to see them.
Thank You.Mike Burke
