BY JAMES E. CHINN.

The major injuries in this war are
not always the ones which give the
fighting men and the doctors the
most trouble.
Take, for example, the case of
Francis I. Coppage, 30, water tender
first class, of Baltimore, now under
treatment in the Naval Medical
Center at Bethesda, Md. Many
sailors who were on warships that
battled the japanese in the Pacific
have suffered similar injuries to his
injuries that are not of the killing
type, but nevertheless are long dis
abling and difficult to treat.
A real Navy "old salt" with II
years of service and the scars of the
battles of the Solomons and Coral
Sea behind him. Mr.. Coppage was
sent to the Bethesda center several
months ago with fractured bones in
both feet. He's walking again now
but with the aid of crutches and a
special mechanical device placed in
side his shoes to straighten the
twisted bones.
Hurt by Torpedo Blast.
The sailor was wounded last No
vember while aboard a cruiser that
was exchanging shells and torpedoes
with Jap warships in the South
Pacific. A torpedo from an enemy
hit the cruiser. She vibrated vio-
lently and her decks buckled.
1t is not uncommon, 1t was said
for such sudden shocks and vibra-
tions to break the heel bones. That
what happened to Mr.. Coppage, who
was standing below deck when the
torpedo struck.

Minor Injuries of Fighting Men
Often Found Difficult to Treat

Though painfully wounded and
unable to walk, Navy records show
Mr. Coppage saved the lives of two
of his mates who were trapped in a
compartment on the cruiser. He
heard their pleas for help. crawled
into the compartment and dragged
them to safety. The Navy awarded
him the Silver Star Medal.
Will Get Limited Duty.
Mr.. Coppages' injuries are re-
spending to treatment, and the Navy
is planning to return him to active
duty as soon AS he is physically fit
to take limited service assignment
on shore.

are expected to heal and make him

Green, 20, pharmacists mate third
class.
When the Navy appealed for VOL
unteers after the Pearl Harbor at
tack. Mr. Green walked into a re-
cruiting Office in Winston Salem,
N. c.. on his 18th birthday ami
versary-January IA, l941-and
signed up for the duration.
Went to GuadalcanaI.
When the first Marine Corps units
were ordered to Guadalcanal
August 7, 1912, Mr. Green was as
signed to go with them.
Five weeks later, while helping
Evening star., 1943-10-18

to evacuate wounded marines from
Bloody Ridge, shell from a Jap
mortar exploded in front OF him,
tearing off the middle finger OF his
right hand and causing compound
fracture of his left leg.
Mr.. Green's wounds received the
best OF care in the base hospitals
from the far Pacific battle-ground
TO the general hospitals in this
country. Now at Bethesda, the leg
is responding slowly to treatment.

1t will not have to be amputated.
Despite the lost finger, doctors be-
lieve Sailor Green can still be of
service to the Navy and in civilian
life after the war.
