The Jeep Got There-Too Late
To Save Wounded Man's Lifei
-' -I v " -1 i
By KENNETH L. DIXON - -
WITH THE AEF IN ITALY, June 1 -(Delayed)-(P- When: the
two figures stepped down from the shadows into the moonlight
on the trail Myers ducked behind the jeep and the captain lifted
his carbine. - - : .- -- - . - ..;
There , had been snipers and machine gunners everywhere
along, the trail, which was crisscrossed by friendly and enemy
patrols ; U x the way -i down the
mountain. We had been fired at
again and : again, and one ma
chine pistol expert had. nearly
scored, his tracers chasing us for
endless yards.' 1
Medic," came the urgent whis
per, "we're medics." The captain,
wholl have to go nameless for
he was wounded later that night,
lowered his carbine. Myers, whose
full name is CpL Randolph T,
and wha used to be a supply yard
worker at Bentleyvflle, Pa., be
fore the war, stepped out. ; , .
The two men with crosses on
their armbands ' came over. -
"We've got a badly wounded
man down here in the ditch. Can
you get him back to the battalion
aid station for us?" one of them
whispered, "it's only about a mile
or so down the traiL"
"Sure," said the captain.
"Wouldn't ask it, but he's in bad
shape and we've got others to
take care of up here."
Sure,? said the captain, "that's
all right! Can one of you go along
to show jus the way?"
"YeahJ ni go," the medic an
swered. "None of us knows exact
ly where it is now. Just moved
it, but well find it.".
They lifted the blood-soaked
Utter with its blanket-wrapped
burden up on the jeep. Blood
seeped through, dripped down on
the right hand front seat The
madic got in the front The restJ
of us walked or trotted alongside,
helping him hold it on. -
They were shooting all around
us. The trail got steeper and rock
ier. Sometimes it seemed impos
sible to hold the litter on the jeep
or the wounded man on the litter.
"Hit in the guts. Hell all town
up in the middle," whispered the
aid man;
The man on the litter was quiet
except when the jeep hit some
big rock i or slope. Then he made
groaning, gurgling sounds.
: "Steady, soldiers. Well have
you there in a minute," one of us
would say, holding his shoulders
down over the steepest part Once
he seemed to gurgle out an "Ah-
hah!" Suddenly blood gushed
from his mouth and nose.
"Hold it Myers! Hold it! Take
it easy!" said the captain hoarsely
Myers' agonized answer hissed sa
vagely back Tm trying! I'm try
ing to take it easy."
.fWe moved on through the sha
dowy trees almost in a crawl, ine
trail branched off. We met some
soldiers but they didn't, know
where the aid station was. No one
ever knows things like that at the
front We took the wrong trail
which led into German territory.
Again ; we got shot at turned
around, worked from shadow to
shadow back to the junction, took
the other trait, i 4' -. :
The man on the litter coughed
again, great quantities of blood
soaking the litter, the jeep seat,
my s field jacket It didn't seem
possible he could still live 1 but
the moonlight showed life- in his
pale face. He' seemed - over : 30
years old but might have been
19. The jeep continued, inch by
inch. . , -
We finally found the aid sta
tion in a clump of trees. They
couldn't take him inside yet Full
up. So we lifted him off the jeep
and ! laid the litter on the' grass
just outside. I sat down beside
him.' Guns flashed and thundered
all j through e the woods, inter
spersed with crackling small arms
fire. . r i
We! left to come on down the
mountain. They came out to take
him in the tent I don't think
it mattered. I think he died there
on the grass in the dark. It was
impossible to see to be sure but
the ' sound of his hoarse, bloody
breathing had stopped. j
