WESTERN THRIFT STORE BACK FROM DEAD TO TELL Editor's Note: The follow ing dispatch was delayed in transmission by field censorship.) By RAY COLL, Jr. Field Hospital, Okinawa, May 5 (U.R) Pvt. Richard A. Mc- Curdy, Boise, Ida., came back from the dead today to tejl how for three days and two nights Japanese soldiers gouged his eyes, picked his body for souv enirs and kicked and rolled him about to see if he were alive. The lanky six foot ex-sawmill hand, now serving with Com pany E, 7th Division, was hit in the back and arm by 50-calibre machine gun bullets Just inside enemy lines. While he lay there seemingly dead, Japanese souvenir hunters took his gun and used it to fire back at Americans; took his rations and water canteen and his billfold. Occasionally they stuck their thumbs in his eye balls and under his cheek bones. They kicked and rolled his body to see if he were alive. Maggots Came McCurdy endured all this thinking each moment was his last, but it was when maggots began eating around the wound in his back that he really was frightened that and the con stant machine gun. mortar and artillery fire pouring back and forth across him which kicked dirt in his face with each blast. On the night of the third day during a rain storm he managed to crawl 200 tortuous yards back into our lines where medics heard his cry and rushed out to take him in. This morning at this base hos pital he told his story in a quiet matter of fact voice. McCurdy's platoon pushed off the morning of May 1 to take a little knoll about 200 yards away. "We had got only about 20 yards when we started receiving intense machine gun, mortar and WARDS HAVE 'EM! gomery Ward rifle fire from both flanks n well as the front, "We ran down a little ridge and thought we had cover there, I saw a little hole in the side of the bank and started to crawl toward it. Suddenly I felt like my legs had been cut off. "I didn't know it at the time, but later found I had been hit in the back. I kept crawling and the Japs spotted me and I got another slug in my right arm, but managed to reach the hole." .
