Testimony of Sam ELLESHOPE (1 Lieutnant 1st battalion 175th infantry regiment) | ||
---|---|---|
“As I was returning to my shelter, Pfc Walters stopped me. He was the quiet type, not a warrior, in all things the model office worker. Not very tall, he wore glasses. Never a problem with him, a damn good soldier! He never complained, and you could always count on him to lift his own weight!”
“Walter, if I transfer you, you know very well that everyone else will have the right to ask me the same thing. Besides, I'm right behind you! »
"ok Sam I'm staying but I don't like it! »
I continued my way along the hedge, saying a word of comfort to each of my men as I passed them. You could hear Red's voice still calling and a few jerries too. |
Being 20 meters from a friend and not being able to help him! Suddenly one, then two shells came whistling above the sunken lane and exploded in front of me! Good God ! My stomach knitted and I whispered to myself: “Smokers! Walters was right! » I rushed along the hedge to see what had happened. Walters was lying on his stomach, his back riddled with holes, and another guy was swimming in his guts! “And he asked me for his transfer! he knew it! Oh shit shit! »
“I returned to my hole, capsized. » | |
