General Information:
Curtis - p. 29 - Trooper L. Poyer [severely wounded] had been found by the Germans, who had attended to his wounds as well as they were able, given him food and water, but took away his rifle. The other, Trooper P. Ducrotoy, was lying not far off hidden in the long grass so the Germans had not found him. ……
