While serving with the Medical Detachment of the 18th Infantry, Captain Pennington left a position of comparative safety and crossed a densely mined terrain under heavy, fire in order to administer first aid and alleviate the suffering of a critically wounded soldier. "We muffed' it," says Capt. Byrd Sergent, Baxter, referring to the fact that his Philippine patrol missed collecting a prize offered by a superior officer for Jap prisoners. "We killed every one we saw," the captain added tersely. Sergent's gun jammed while on patrol duty just as a Jap aimed a grenade in hi direction, but before he could throw it, a patrol mate killed the Jap.

But before Captain Sergent could fix his gun, he glanced up and saw another Jap aiming straight at him. Jap guns jam too, however, and a G.I. got him before the surprised Nip could make the necessary repairs.
