Bingham, Klaus Yrurgen
Army Staff sergeant

Klaus Yrurgen Bingham, age 27, from Wahiawa, Hawaii, Honolulu county.

Service era: Vietnam

Date of death: Monday, May 3, 1971
Death details: On May 3, 1971, a long-range reconnaissance patrol made up of U.S. and South Vietnamese troops was inserted into Quang Nam Province, South Vietnam. The patrol was never extracted and did not return to any friendly base, and was never heard from again. Search efforts for the patrol’s members were repeatedly stymied by bad weather and enemy presence. Subsequent investigations yielded reports that the patrol had been attacked by local militia forces and suffered casualties, but no remains of patrol members were found by the investigators. One of the U.S. soldiers on this patrol was eventually accounted for, but two others remain missing. Staff Sergeant Klaus Bingham, who entered the U.S. Army from Hawaii, served with Headquarters, U.S. Army, Vietnam, and was a member of this patrol. He remains unaccounted for. Today, Staff Sergeant Bingham is memorialized on the Courts of the Missing at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.
