Long Binh Jail Riot During the Vietnam War
"Around midnight, Colonel Johnson and Lieutenant Ernest B. Talps entered
the compound (of the Long Binh Jail) in an attempt to calm the rioters. While he was addressing
the mob, Johnson was viciously attacked, sustaining severe head wounds
before he and Talps escaped."
As Captain, E.B. Talps would assume command of the 249th MP Detachment and the Eighth Army Confinement Facility, early winter of 1973 and he remained as the CO until the late winter of 1975. Anyone with personal stories of Capt Talps or military episodes may please send them to me or record them hear for others to read and enjoy. You may also go to the Talps page here and leave a comment. Your help is and will be appreciated.
