3rd Platoon men. A.T. Fields, now dead, was the last 1st Sgt of F. Co. He was a Pfc
when we went to Negros, became a squad leader, then platoon sgt, and after the
war everyone else senior had gone home. He joined the outfit in late 1943 and
went through everything. They did not enter his CIB award. I wrote everybody
giving service, purple heart, tc, to no avail. John Lindgren found orders
awarding his CIB in Suitland, MD.
