Island.
After he jumped into combat on
Noemfoor Island, off the coast OF
Dutch New Guinea, last July 8
Sergeant Sidney c. Barton, 25, In
fantry paratrooper and graduate OF
Florence high school, was assigned
to lead a patrol ordered to locate
the main body of Japanese troops
on the island. He Is now home on
furlough visiting Mr.. and Mrs. Ned
Palmer of Florence.
The mission was quickly accom-
plished despite what Sergeant Bar
ton described as "a little trouble. "
The little trouble" said the SER
geant. came in the form of strong
Japanese outpost, which opened up
on the doughboy patrol with mach
inegun fire after the Americans
had approached to within 25 yards
of it.
Sergeant Barton personally killed
four Japanese riflemen who were
protecting the machinegun crew in
the outpost, he said in an interview
released today by the War Depart
ment.
"The Jap position was on a hill
side, overlooking the jungle trail
we were following" he said. 81

would take care of the riflemen
while the sother boys poured fire
into the machinegun crew. The plan
worked out very nicely.
"The fire we poured at them got
the Nips so excited and bewildered
that their riflemen lost their heads
and made good targets of them
selves, SO shooting them was con-
siderably easier than you might
think. And none of my boys got
hurt"
At Noemfoor. Sergeant Barton
said, the Japs put up only spas
modic organized resistance, show
ing little of the "banZai" spirit ex-
hibited by other Nips in the South
west Pacific.
The spirit of the American dough-
boys, however, was high. He told
of one Infantryman who had been
firing his BAR into a Japanese
mortar position, and who, when the
weapon jammed, calmly strode for
ward with it, while his comrades
covered him with rifle fire, and
used it as a club to clean out the
position.
Prisoners taken by Sergeant Bar
tons outfit, upon being questioned
by interpreters, didn't know where
they were or what the was was all
about, he said.
He had many narrow escapes.
from sniper bullets that missed
him by inches, machinegun slugs
that whizzed just over his head,
and grenades and mortar shells
that landed within "jolting dist
ance of him.
"But, shucks." he said. you just
expect those things-and If they
miss you, you don't think about
them"
Besides the Parachute Infantry
insignia. Sergeant Barton earned
the right to wear the Combat In
fantryman Badge, awarded for ex-
emplary conduct in action against
the enemy.
A veteran of six years Army SER
vice. he received his basic train
