Myself and Eric Henderson were told to pick up someone from the battlefield, it was chaos with enemy fire and bombs exploding all around us. We ran to the person lying on the ground, he had been hit by a bullet , it looked like it had entered into his neck.He was dead, we picked him up and put him into a Ratel ,that was the last we saw of him.RIP we will never forget.
