| Killed in Action while on patrol with 102 Bn between Etengua and Opuwo in Western Koakoland when the Buffel Troop Carrier convoy was ambushed by a numerically superior force of approximately 40 heavily armed SWAPO/PLAN insurgents. The first Buffel detonated a landmine and the other three vehicles were systematically knocked out by Yugoslavian M60 HEAT STRIM Anti-Tank rifle grenades and RPG-7 Anti-Tank Rockets. The survivors were then subjected to heavy automatic rifle, machine-gun and mortar fire before the SWAPO/PLAN force withdrew |
