I also found the 38th Infantry Regiment's S-3's Journal covering 1600 hours 18th September to 1710 hours 19th September. Although there is no mention of Item Company in does emphasise the complete collapse in communications during the attack.

"1106 rounds falling in forward positions".

1800 18th to 1800 19th.
"On Baldy, unknown number of enemy (probably 2 companies) assaulted under intense artillery, mortar, RR rifle, and tank fire preparation (1000 rds mixed), and overran positions" - Certainly not a situation conducive to running 200 yards in open terrain.

1800 19th to 1800 20th.
"Item Co Patrol reached left platoon positions on HILL 266. Patrol held up by enemy fire, engaged in brief firefight. Patrol returned to frdly positions 0610. Same patrol moved to same positions at 0800, receiving approximately 500 rounds mixed artillery and mortar en route. Patrol occupies 5 bunkers on "Old Baldy" as Period ends." - Still wouldn't like to take a 200 yard walk.

The situation returned to one similar to that prior the battle as this 16th October 1952 aerial photograph and October positions chart show.

Here is a cutting from 29th September 1952 Brooklyn Eagle reporting his wound. By this time it was rather old news as the wounded Private had been recommended for the Bronze Star Medal with "V" Device.
