That was a great show. The veteran that accompanied Steve Thomas must have been one tough cookie...he was bayonetted 6 times in one battle and shot 5 times in another and survived the war!
I saw some of this show yesterday, that poor guy was attacked by a mob of japs. He said one of his wounds the bayonet went thru his thigh and out his buttocks, one in the wrist, one in the chest, and the fellow WALKED back to the aid station!!
That's one tough bird.
