Bertrand Jahn Dacey - NOTES FROM THE VIRTUAL WALL

Two men of the 11th ACR's Air Cavalry Troop died when their OH-6A scout
helicopter (tail number 66-17768) was shot down:

x CPT Bertrand Jahn Dacey, pilot
x SP5 Lorne Jay Sipperley, observer

Captain Dacey was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for his actions.

08 Oct 2005

I was a member of the Aero Rifle Platoon of the 11th ACR and myself and others
from my platoon recovered the bodies of Captain Dacey and Specialist 5 Sipperley.
I remember that day often, it was not a pleasant one. I also remember that no one
knew who the co-pilot was, you see SP/5 Sipperly was already signed out of the
unit and ready to go home but had decided to sneak off and take one more last
flight.

From a member of the same unit,
Jack Stoddard
