More detail on this person: This is to inform you of the death of Major Walter M. Bergmann, USA
retired on 4 February 1917. Wally, known to his many friends as" The Great White Whale" deployed
with the 174th Assault Helicopter Company in 1966 as a "Dolphin" in the 1st Platoon " and
subsequently flew as a "Pelican" Section Commander with the 2nd Platoon of the 161st Assault
Helicopter Company out of Lane Army Airfield. He is interned at Florida National Cemetery,
