Thank you for posting this, I had no idea about CPL Traughber. There was antoher Marine from Kamiseya who was killed in a helicopter crash the day I arrived in Vietnam in early 1970 and I cannot remember his name, would you have any idea of any Cryptologig Marines killed in the first 3 months of 1970? I saw the burned wreckage of the helicopter. They said I think he was on a resupply mission, maybe to Hill 364 but I am not sure, ID was via dental records. Thank you.
