Special Combat Correspondent Killed

by William H. Keith, jr.

Dateline: Exeter

BattleTechnology's senior editor today announced the death of Special Combat Correspondent James Harvey Filmore. Filmore, 25, had been assigned to cover reports of fighting between House Kurita forces and Wolfs Dragoons, a celebrated mercenary unit, on the Kurita world of Misery. Details of his death were not available, but it is believed that he was killed while attempting to reach elements of Wolf's Dragoons in the hill country south of Kantun.

Filmore had been a staff reporter at the regional office of BattleTechnology on Luthien until that office's accidental destruction in April. At that time, he was re-assigned to the developing story on Misery.

"Filmore was a professional in every sense of the word," says W. H. Keith, the Editor-in-Chief BattleTechnology, at his offices on Exeter. "He will be sorely missed."
