- Excert from discussion re: 220th Medical personnel: Two HQ men, Corporal (T/5) Jasper R. 'Tex' Flanakin (Houston, Texas) and Private Berhard F. 'Bud' Cordts (New York, New York) were pinned down with eight wounded men in a ditch. While first aid was being given to the wounded men, Flanakin unhesitatingly exposed himself to intense enemy fire and ran about 50 yards to the rear to commandeer an abandoned half-track. Both men carried seven of the wounded soldiers to the halftrack and Flanakin made three trips through the ambush to save their lives. The eighth man died of his wounds. Both men were awarded the Silver Star.
