| Accidentally killed by own forces near Otavi. Dennis was the last person in the stick to jump just before sunset and his parachute drifted further away than the rest. After a Temporary Base had been set up, it was only after dark that Dennis came walking along and unfortunately, a Paratrooper mistook him for an enemy insurgent who were known to be operating in the area at the time and everyone opened fire in his direction. At first light the following morning, a sweep of the area was conducted and his body was located and subsequently recovered. |
