In winter/spring of 1969, we assisted a PCF that had been hit by B-40 in the mouth of the Bassac River. We heard many tales of the operations there. Finally we patched up the boat and it was able to head north under its own power. Who were the crew and did they make it home?
These must have been some of the same operations that Kerry was on.
We heard the story of Bernique's creek..I now see a picture of Bernique on your site. |

If you can give us a more specific date and location we can probably help! RB, any thoughts? What unit did you serve with WhalePac?

As Tom says: We would need more information on dates and location to
query if someone remembers this incident.
But if it was the mouth of the Bassac. Kerry was not anywhere near it.
