* Note: CPL Clifford W. Marshall was with the 43rd Inf Platoon " Scout Dogs " and assigned to Delta 1/11 for that mission. He was KIA along with his dog "Heidi" and the others on February 19, 1971.

After Action Note:

On 19 Feb 1971 a patrol from Delta Company, 1/11th Infantry, was moving along the slopes of Hill 918, northwest of Khe Sanh, an area heavily infested with NVA troops. A scout dog team was with the infantrymen. The patrol had two separate engagements separated by about 400 meters. In one, four infantrymen were killed; in the other the dog and her handler and dog were killed. Although the sequence is not known it seems likely the dog alerted the patrol to NVA troops, was killed in the first exchange, and the second action followed as the patrol pursued the enemy.

The US dead were:
43rd Infantry Platoon (Scout Dogs) CPL Clifford W. Marshall, Richmond, KY
Heidi, Scout Dog

SGT Charles T. Matthews, Huntsville, AL
SGT Lyle E. Smith, South Whitley, IN
