Account of his death, written by his brother Robert Denchfield as he interviewed Tully (sp?) Cox, Altura, Alabama, on March 31st, 1954: "Tully said he was with Raymond when he was shot. It happened at 3:00 AM 29 Nov. '50. They were in a defensive position and dug in on the slope of a hill and were going to attack the next morning at 9:00 AM. When the Chinese attacked them--they were so thick amongst them that they could hardly tell who were their own men. Raymond was one of the last of the company to survive--only six were left out of the company and two later died in POW camp. Raymond's platoon had a 75 MM cannon which had lost all its men but one and as Raymond was walking down the hill to the position of the cannon--he was caught by a machine gun and at least 20 shells went in him. He fell forward into a foxhole and was carried back to the aid station but he was dead. Tully said he was with Raymond all the way through and that he was the bravest soldier he ever saw. While at Seoul, Raymond picked up a machine gun single handedly and fired it from the waist as he walked forward to the Chinese. On another occasion he had a rifle shot out of his hands and the stock splintered unto his face but he soon grabbed another gun and was firing it. Cox said Raymond was liked by everyone and everyone respected him--all his orders were cheerfully obeyed and no one ever questioned his word. Raymond acted as Company commander over half of the time. They tried time [and] again to promote him to Capt. on the field but there were too many other Capt's at the time he was killed. He was the last officer in the company. Tully also could not praise Raymond enough and told many brave and courageous acts that Raymond performed. Cox called to Raymond to look out but just then Raymond was shot. He had fired his gun at the Commies who later shot him. Probably the flash from Raymond's fire gave his position away and also he was tall and stately in the moonlight and snow which gave him away.
