The mission of the 218th MP Co included convoy escort security.

Photo below is the 218th MP Co gun jeep which PFC John Nagy was driving while on convoy escort, Mar 21,1968. PFC Nagy, East St Louis, IL was one of the 218th KIA when a mine was detonated under the jeep.

Escorts remain vigilant during a stop along the route.

Convoy escorts seldom had this level of protection.

Does anyone recall the name of this little guy, a local orphan who often rode with 218th convoys and more than once warned of VC activity?
