The bullets were flying by my head like angry bees.”Over here! give me some cover.” I heard him yell.
I peered up out of the fox hole and began laying down some cover fire. Bullets kicking up sand, mortars exploding..my ears were ringing. I had to focus and keep up the support fire, we had to get the wounded men to safety.
“Medic! get the medic asap the Lt. has been hit.”
I Jumped up and moved from foxhole to foxhole looking.
The Germans were everywhere.
I found the medic, he was working on Faulkner. A mortar had exploded close to him and his helmet had come off right before he took a shot to the side of the head. The medic looked at me and shook his head, he was gone. “The Lt. has been hit they need you a couple holes back.” I told him. ” I will lay down some cover so you can make it back.” The medic acknowledge me and as soon as I began firing he jumped up and started running back to where the Lt. was.
I need to keep up the cover fire.
“William, dinner is ready.” dang!
“I will be there in a minute mom.”
