Data From Ivy Leaf Dated March 30,1969 )
Men of Company D,3rd Battalion,8th Infantry set up there ight position on HILL 947, 23 kilometers SW of here, little did they realize that they would be pinned down at the location for a day and a half by NVA rocket, mortor and sniper in a battle that would claim the lives of 139 NVA regulars. The 4th Infantry Division's fighting men knew there was a good deal of enemy activity in the area. That day, they had met a six man NVA patrol on a heavily traveled foot path, killing four of the enemy and freeing a captured American soldier ( whom I believe no one knows who this was to this day ) the patrol was escorting. Things were quiet as the Ivymen set up their night location on HILL 947. As darkness crept in on the camp, occasional movement could be heard along its perimeter about 5 the next morning. "Just as we were beginning to send out our OPs, " related Specialist Donald Bosch of Bismark, N.D. " we were hit with mortors, rockets, and heavy sniper fire from all sides. We also found that the earlier perimeter movement was caused by the enemy setting up claymores facing us. These were also filred in the initial contact". After the outburst, enemy fire died off somewhat. "There were still snipers in and behind trees surrounding us" replied SGT Robert Edwards of Atlanta, GA. " Whenever we tried moving from our holes, they would shoot at us and throw ( fire )rounds."
During the entire day, the beseiged 1st Brigade company was
supported by artillery, gunships and air strikes. The 6th Battalion, 29th Artillary's forward observer with the company; 1st LT Hank Castillion of Green River Wyo. reportedly laid out in the open the entire operation, calling in and adjusting artillery on the enemy positions whenever other methods of outside support were not being applied. That night, the NVA attempted to slip into Delta Company's position. They made frequent use of grenades in their short range probes. Spooky 42 ( Puff the Magic Dragon ) spent almost the entire night spraying lethal ordnance in support of the Ivymen. "Spooky began working out 400 meters from our location and worked his way in." explained First SGT JUlius C. Smith of Harrisburg, VA. "He did a tremendous job for us.....firing right into the edge of our perimeter." SP4 Arian Anderson of Battle, NEB., along with other Users of the comany command post group, flashed lights on the trees nearest the entrenched Ivymen, showing Spooky how close he could fire. Spooky moved out of the location about
7Am the next morning. Shortly afterward, the enemy opened fire on the camp with mortors and gas. Light observation helicopters (LOH) from the 7th Squadron, 17th Cavalry came to the aid of Delta Company," and they sure did the job," commented SGT Edwards. They came in at tree top level and cleaned out the enemy position. They found and knocked out the NVA mortor emplacements. It was located about 200 meters from our perimeter. Then the Ivymen heard something that had been absent for 36 hours.....silence. They cautiously moved from the holes that had provided cover during the attack. As they moved out to extend their perimeter, the men of Delta Company discovered 53 NVA bodies along with weapons and various types of munitions. The next day, the Ivymenwere joined by elements from the 3rd Battilion, 12th Infantry in a thorough sweep of the entire area. Additional bodies found brought the total from the battle of HILL 947 to 139 NVA dead.
