at Anzio. I was in a foxhole and we were taking heavy German fire. 2 of my platoon were killed by a grenade launched into our area and I was badly wounded.
I will never forget how you dove into the foxhole and took over the machine gun, killing half-a-dozen Nazi soldiers who had worked their way towards us.
I had passed out by this point, but the orderly at the hospital told me how you carried me 5 km through enemy-held woods and back to safe territory.
