    One day we were going across a ridge line while some fighting was going on for another hill,,,We came into an opening where it seems there had been an artillery emplacement. I look to my front and there stacked up around 8 high were bodies on strechers.two stacks..I turned and said to the soldier.in back of me "Are these Chinese??"Ill never for get the way he said it.."Do Chinese soldiers wear boots"??,,,Then I looked closer they were wearing American boots......I did not have time to ponder what I was looking at ..Dead American soldiers............................................The wounded we would see being carried down the ridge line and give them a cigaret..Our Company Commander got wounded six times..A Sgt who had his armed wounded was with him one time and Lt,Lee said go to the medics..but the Sgt said No Ill stay with you....
