On the 21st Don Abbott tells of the long line of vehicles they encountered
on their patrol down into James Ravine and then south along the shore. Don
remembers well the fire of the destroyer and the exactness of the Navy FO in
giving corrections by feet. They had to cross over RC-6 and proceed up

About 10a.m., we were moving down a
path toward what we thought was a mine storage cave. We were
in a single file. After several men had passed a certain
point and apparently missed the mine actuator George Roberts
triggered it. His leg was blown off about halfway to his
knee. His other leg was bleeding profusely, too. Two aid men
reached him quickly but couldn’t control the bleeding.
George Roberts DOW that night in an aid station on Topside.
