Then the men In the bunker lay behind the bodies of their dead fellows and kept atlll, hoping, hop ing, hoping the Reds would think thern dead too. One of the aurvlvora, a 32-year- old private first class from New York CUv. told mars and Htrlpen: "We couldn't have lasted another day but we knew they wouldn't let Old Baldy go. We never lost hope and all of us prayed." A big mauler wrgeant from Cal ifornia said the men went without food the entire time although they had plenty of rations. "We had no water so we were afraid to eat anything," he said. The sergeant also related how Ihe Chinese thought everyone In the bunker was dead. "Logs and stuff were piled In ihe doorway and after the last ; Chinese sprayed us with his burp pun they let us alone, except for I their artillery and tanks, We must 'hnve gotten at least 150 direct or inenr hits."

No one lost his head. All of us were cool because we Just knew the Second Dlv would retake Baldy. "Sunday night we were sure tne attack had finally started because we felt beavv artillery coming In and we heard small arms fire down the slope. "After we got In the bunker we knew that Company 'K' had left the hill and now was coming back. About 6 o'clock Sunday some of our men got to us. We told them to come on in, but they were afraid the Chinese had hooked booby traps to us. They thought it was a trick. "A few minutes later another group came by and they took us out.
