This page is my attempt to tell the story of 267th Signal Company in Vietnam.
I was only with the unit for one year (July 1967 thru July 1968) and could use some
help in putting this together. If you were a member of the 267th and could help
please let me know. A special thanks to Charles Lay, Clell G. Creek and Lt Col.
Glenn Dean (Ret,) for their help in putting this together.
The 267th Signal Company was a heavy cable construction company. Responsible for
construction and maintenance of telephone cable rangeing from 25 pair to 400 pair cable,
both aerial and underground. Our area of operations was the Third and Fourth Corps.
We supported the 1st, 4th, 9th and 25th Infanty Divisions, 11th Cavalry Regiment, the
