| Comment | [Commodore Mann] I knew Lt Harris but I am sure others knew him better as he was not my platoon leader and I left the company before he died. Also, there was a 1LT Black(something) that was great friends with him. I was on duty in the TOC the night we took rounds and he was killed out on the berm. |
