Smoking a cigar, Anthony W. 'Bill' Pohl (CA, KIA 13 May 68) poses with a friend, possibly a translator known as 'Bik'. Pohl was killed by the same recoiless rifle round that wounded Lt. Jim Love on top of LZ Center. Love and Pohl were 1st Platoon. Bik was from Battalion Intelligence. Evidently he was a North Vietnamese whose father was a professor. Bik's older brother was drafted into the NVA and was killed. Then either Bik's parents were killed, or his father moved the family to South Vietnam, where he taught at the university in Da Nang.(BP01)
