BW-05: 1st Platoon Squad Leader Sherwin Hall (CA), did a good deed during a night attack. Shooting a rifle in the dark shows your position via the muzzle flash, so those in the firefight were relying mostly on hand-grenades. When 1st Platoon began to run low on grenades, Hall crawled around the perimeter to other platoons to get more. Note his military wristwatch. At the time, most of us thought of Hall as a fairly old guy...he was probably about 30.
