On 21 April, when the Rangers and [[Crazy Eights]] led a flank attack against [[Clan Jade Falcon]] warriors via the Dales Highlands, McCarthy's company formed the [[regiment]]'s right flank. McCarthy's arrogance and dismissal of the [[Lyran Commonwealth|Lyran]] scout leader [[Caradoc Trevena]] led them fall into a Falcon ambush, and the clan forces fell over them.<ref>''Tales of the Cracked Canopy: Blind Arrogance'', p. 133</ref>

Sherbow was killed in seconds, but LaBelle didn't survive much longer: a Falcon ''[[Masakari]]'' shot him with its four PPCs in an [[Alpha Strike (tactic)|alpha strike]], causing his ammunition to explode and killing him instantly.<ref name=TotCC:BAp132/> In the end, only Manny Totske survived of his lance. He managed to escape, though traumatized. The loss of his men and the refusal of McCarthy to recognize his errors moved him to abandon the Rangers.<ref>''Tales of the Cracked Canopy: Blind Arrogance'', pp. 135–136</ref>

Parker LaBelle was described as a man taller than Totske and thin, with a lean face and thinning brown hair. In [[3090]], a picture remembering him and his lancemates was hung on the ''Memory Wall'' of the [[Cracked Canopy]] MechWarrior's bar on [[Solaris VII]].<ref name=ToCCBAp138>''Tales of the Cracked Canopy: Blind Arrogance'', p. 138</ref>
