PARA-ATTACK 8 MILES SOUTHWEST OF HARTSVILLE, TENNESSEE - Exercise 13 July 1944.  " He must have been there a while to have that cigarette hanging out of his mouth. When I broke a bone in my right foot, at Green Field in North Queensland,  a medic came by taped my ankle up and directed me to an ambulance standing at the edge of the field. I don't know why the Medic has a pencil and paper and is writing stuff down. Where's his ankle tape?  The way the chutes are littered across the field, it was a heck of a lousy jump, they should have been much closer together." - Chet Nycum.
