Headquarters, e. Company, Aug
e-we jumped off at $50 O'Clock
Saturday evening. Our objective
was the high ground southeast Of
st. 10. That meant taking two hills
and the valley between them.
BY the time We reached the first
high ground there were German
troops TO our right and left. They
let us come through. I think they
were trying 10 trap us. We sneaked
down the hill, jumping from one
bit OF cover TO another, through APP
pie orchards and across hedgerows.
BY the time we reached the bot
tom Of the valley there we're only
about 100 OF us. There were only
two platoons Of e Company with rs
riflemen instead OF the 50 we had
at full strength. There were also
three platoons Of r Company, with
a total Of 90 or 30 men including n
heavy machine gun platoon. Our
Third platoon and our Weapons
platoon, plus the entire q Company.
was pinned down by heavy fire on
the hilltop
Then the Germans closed ia be-
hind Us and cut us off.
For one brief moment before We
we're cut off. Major Cnow IAeuten-
ant Colonel Sidney Bingham. Of
Dallas. Tex. was In phone contact
with the regimental command post.
HOLD GROUND
The Regiment told us 10 pull back
to the first hill, but the Major
said, Hell, no. we've got this
ground. Let's stay and hold &C."
No one slept that night. We were
under mortar and grenade and ma
chine gun fire all night. We did
manage TO get two runners through
the German lines and the next
morning they brought up q Com
pany and our Third Platoon and
our Weapons Company.
Sunday all we did was dig In.
We got pretty hungry and thirsty
because when We left we had only
two rations apiece. Most OF us
had eaten both Saturday night. BY
Sunday afternoon everyones can
teen was dry.
We didn't do much talking SUM-
day. Every time We punched up
Jerry started throwing shells at us.
When we did talk We talked about
food and drink and wlssn they
would relieve ms. We thought we
were surely cooked geese.

Gen. Sutherland, Who Helped Map Defense
|Of Philippines, Now Aids in Attack Plans

! believes it will be difficult task
and there will be heavy fighting in
spots.
While some officers believed be-
fore the war that the Philippines
could not be defended, Gen. Suth-
erland believed they could be. il
given proper defensive installations
and support.
Under those conditions the cost
would have been SO great it would
have been problematical whether
the islands could have been taken
out completely. Then we were faced
with the problem of defending the
Philippines. Now We have the prob
lem of taking it back.
I'VE know every detail of how it
can be defended. The JapS do, too
We can take it back because when
We go back in we will have COM
plete control of the sea and air.
I'VE will be able to concentrate
more men at one particular point
than the Japs because we will be
the attacker and we will pick our
points of attack.
