My regular
gunner, Pfc. Edward Thompson, is in the background. In the
foreground is Roy Jensrud, our platoon medic. He was from
Hibbing, Minnesota and a very dedicated medic. William C.
Mathers, who was the 1st platoon leader on Negros told me, "That
boy would walk through a machine-gun blast if somebody yelled
"Medic!" I had learned that already on Corregidor. The loss of
many of our men was hard on all of us, but Jensrud suffered most
of all - on every occasion he had done everything within his
capabilities to save their lives.
