'I really didn't think I would make it. I didn't think there was any way that you could get across that beach and survive. I mean, I really thought it was my last day, but i had a job to do, and you know you're scared to death, but your friends - you don't want your friends to know you're afraid. You bluff, you act big and tough, but really, you're scared to death'

"I went to find two rifle platoons, I passed a stretcher with lieutenant Greenwall on it. He was full of shrapnel from a Japanese plastic grenade, lying smoking a cigarette. He said 'Well, Sergeant-Major,' stroking his old man, 'they didnt hit that!' He was newly married."
