[seamoose]

As the title says I'm looking to learn more about Bernard. I know he was in a cav unit in Indochina and he was killed in a mortar barrage and that about the extent of my knowledge. The things i would like to find out if anyone knows are as following

1. What unit was he in?
2. What was his final rank?
3. Did his unit ever receive their vehicles or were they one of the several armored units that fought as regular infantry?
4. If they did get vehicles what were they and what did he name his?
5. If he fought on foot did he have a preferred weapon or what weapon was he issued with?
