Left: Capt. Dr. Frederic A. Washburn, Surgeon Amid flying bullets, he dressed the wounds of Hiscock From my position on the hill which the mountain battery later selected for a site from which to toss shells across the 1400 yards of space to the farthest trench, I saw Sergt Henry Hiscock of Co H when a 45-caliber slug struck him, severing the urethra. He fell in an open place, where the fly of lead was thickest, and he was not more than three minutes down when Capt Dr Fred Washburn, followed by his orderly, private Wardner, and a Chinaman employed by the hospital corps, left cover and ran across the enemy's field of fire to the stricken sergeant. Capt Washburn kneeled beside Hiscock, dressed his wound, motioned for the Chinaman to give a hand, and the courageous three carried the sergeant fully 200 feet to a less dangerous place on the right of the road which extended from the entrance to the position to the town around which Capt Tutherly's men disappeared in the rush for the river. -JNTaylor |
