consciousness. He tried, painful
ly, to straighten his broken
limbs. A Jap rifle cracked. and
Atkinson realized he had been
shot in the chest. For what
seemed q lifetime, he lay in the
open. Finally, he tried again to
shift his body. Once more he
was wounded, this time in the
shoulder.
Moving his eyes but keeping
his body rigid, Atkinson saw
eight japanese riflemen 20 feet
to the left, and suddenly realiz-
ed that they were using his body
as q barricade while they sniped
at advancing American troops.
Atkinson finally moved again.
The Japanese shot him in the hip.
Desperately, Atkinson gathered
his strength and when the at
tention of the japanese was di-
verted by an American tank, he
rolled into the ravine down
which Boardman had escaped.
ITS JERRY
Atkinson knew his only chance
to live was to attract the atten-
ton of his own tanks, circling
the area while ground troops
moved up. He forced himself to
lie on his back, and stuck his
good leg, crimson clad, in the
air. Every time the leg made an
appearance the Japs tried to
shoot it down.
Meanwhile, 1st 1t. Charles
Nelson spotted the signal and
moved in with his tank. Nelson
knew that Atkinson wore the
loudest red socks In the division.
ITS Jerry" he shouted.
Atkinson's troubles were not
over. A tank gunner spotted him
and thought he was a Jap. Ma
chine guns chartered and shells
tore the dirt few feet from
Atkinson's face. He threw up
his hands in a protective gest-
ure, and a shell pl o u 6 h d
through the palm of his right
hand. The firing stopped as
quickly as 1t began when the
gunner discovered his error.
Nelson brought his tank near
er, and in a matter of minutes,
Atkinson was carried to safety
in rubber poncho.
Lieutenant Atkinson and Cor
poral Boardman have reached
the Golden Gate, and were
brought to the Naval Receiving
Hospital.
