CSM Edgar Britt

With a heavy heart I am saddened to announce the death of CSM Edgar Britt. He was a Son Tay Raider and is now at the final Drop Zone.

Rest in Peace Brother. DOL

RIP Brother, Vaya con Dios.

Prayers, and my deepest condolences to the Britt family. De Oppresso Liber

I was very fortunate to have been able to drown a bunch of beer with SGM Britt at the monthly get-togethers at the Cape.

Damn,

I always enjoyed drinking a few beers and listening to CSM Britt's stories. He was a wealth of knowledge on the Son Tay raid.

I know this may seem a little silly, but the man certainly earned the honour.

I Googled Son Toy Raid, wanting to enjoy reading the story again.
First click was Wikipedia; their briefs on military history tend to be short but informative; why not?

There happened to be a list of the Raiders names, and the good CSM isn't on it
Could someone far more knowledgeable than me, have a quick read, and tell me where best to add the CSMs name.
Happy to do the leg work.

Wikipedia

Cheers
