Pfc. Peter Conway Quotes:

  • [During the night the squad is guarding a trenchline amid word that the Japanese may launch an attack. From out of the night a faint voice can be heard calling "Corpsman."]

    Pfc. Benny Regazzi: [his voice hushed] Stryker!

    Sgt. Stryker: [hushed] Get down! Stay down! You have your orders, don't move!

    Pfc. Peter Conway: [hushed] There's somebody wounded out there. Let's go get him!

    Sgt. Stryker: Stay down, it might be a Jap trick, they pulled it off plenty of times at Guadalcanal.

    Pfc. Peter Conway: That doesn't sound like a Jap to me!

    Sgt. Stryker: I don't care what it sounds like to you! You stick your head up, you'll tip our position.

    [the voice resumes, and now we can recognize it]

    Pfc. Charlie Bass: [unseen in the night] Stryker!

    Pfc. Peter Conway: That's Bass. How many Japs know your name, Stryker?
