Photo Request

From Steve Dellwo, on Sun, 21 May 2000 18:15:12 GMT

Hello, I am looking for copies of the famous pictures taken by LIFE Photographer Catherine LeRoy of Corpsman Vernon Wike under fire n combat on Hill 881 near Khe Sanh on or about May 4, 1967. The famous picture I am referring to is the oft-reprinted photo of Wike looking up in anguish as he realizaes the Marine casualty he is trying to save is already dead. Also looking for anyone who may know the identity of the Marine casualty, also anyone having snapshots including Vernon Wike or Catherine LeRoy, and any personal recollections of either. Thanks
