Lewis Clark Walton, age 36, from Cranston, Rhode Island, Providence county.
Service era: Vietnam
Date of death: Monday, May 3, 1971
Death details: On December 19, 2006, the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC, now DPAA) identified the remains of Sergeant First Class Lewis Clark Walton, missing from the Vietnam War. Sergeant First Class Walton entered the U.S. Army from Rhode Island and served with Task Force 1, Advisory Element, and was assigned to Support Headquarters, USARV. On May 3, 1971, he was part of a reconnaissance patrol inserted into a remote area of Quang Nam-Da Nang Province, South Vietnam. Following its insertion into the target area, the patrol was attacked by enemy forces and SFC Walton was killed in action. His remains were not recovered at the time. Between 1992 and 1999, joint U.S./Vietnamese teams traveled to the area and investigated the incident, which led to the recovery of human remains from associated burial sites between 2004 and 2006. U.S. analysts were able to identify SFC Walton from these remains.
