It is with sadness I have to inform you all of the loss of another dog handler.

Harry William Wickwire died in October of 2016 in Miami, Florida.

There is some confusion about where and when exactly Harry served.  Our records reflect the 212th MP in 1967-1968.  Harry’s brother George thought he served 1965-1966 and again 1968-1969 in the Long Bien area both times.

George told Ray Rogers, 981st MP, 1971-1972, that after Harry came back from his second tour in Vietnam, he was a different person.  He said Harry had difficulties adjusting the rest of his life. Harry never opened up to help his family members understand what happen to him.

At the time of Harry’s death, Harry was estrange from his family.

George is asking for our assistance.  He would like to hear from anyone that knew Harry, to help the family put some pieces together.  We have two ways to contact George.  Both ways are listed below:
