Delanson Soldier Dies in Viet Air Assault

Richard John Mosley, Army air medic specialist fourth class, was killed last Friday during an air assault in Vietnam. He was 20, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Mosley of Delanson.

"When he wrote us. it letter, -- we got in the 23rd, I think -- he said he Was transferred to a new unit, but he wasn't doing anything but only guarding a bridge," said his mother Sunday night. "He didn't tell us everything, though --didn't want to get me worried."

Richard John was the oldest child of the Mosley family. The other children, Andrea, 16, Donna, 9, Stuart, 8, and Scott, seven months, live with their parents in a trailer on Knox Cave Rd.

Mr. Mosley, a teamster employed by Helm's Express,• Inc. spoke quietly of the telegrams that came Saturday. He didn't sit -- he stood and held out the small yellow telegraph forms stiffly in front of him.

It says he engaged in hostility employing small, arms fire while landing during an assault operation. The soldier who came with the priest yesterday said it was probably a rifle."

"We don't know- when they'll bring him back," Mr. Mosley continued, "won't know until more telegrams come".

The Mosleys don't know where or exactly, how their son died, except that it was during an "air assault," Mrs. Mosley remembered that her son "was at An Khe once, but didn't mention in his last letter where he'd been transferred.

"He asked us in the last letter to write to the newspaper to say thank you for that "Operation Goodwill," she siad. "We even got a tape back from him a few eeks aog."
