"Now I am allowed to mention a few places I've done battles. My pl-atoon cnossed the Volturno River three times; I crossed twice. The first tiiue my platoon was assigned the niission of establishing a river head and believe me, being the first man across was tough. The third tinie across I was knocked out, resulting in my recent hospitalization. Returnmg to my regiment a few days later, I foimd that I was to be company c.ommander in the attack on Cassino. Tn this assignment, th« weather was really rough, with snow up to our knees."
