“When the assault began, there were many wounded, we were putting them everywhere… Some didn’t even make it to the bunker… The dead were taken away [by vehicles]. Before that, we were putting them in the corridor [of the bunker]. No toilet breaks, we couldn’t even get out.

They were sending the wounded down to me from that line, I was standing on the bunker stairs, sometimes I would go up, and they would tell me: “Doc! Don’t go up there!” The wounded were taken to the stairs. If the wound was light, some painkillers and bandaging would do, and back to the position! Some guys were concussed, they were screaming: “My head hurts! My head hurts!” I would put them on a drip, 40 minutes, they’re back to their senses and were like: “That’s it! I’m going! My guys are out there!” And they would go back to their positions.”
