_Lieutenant Barry_: “I would go forward and join my two platoons at the
enemy strong point.”
_The Director_: “Would you take any other action before doing that?”
_Lieutenant Barry_: “I think not, sir. I would want to know the
situation up there as soon as possible.”
_The Director_: “What would you do, Lieutenant Hunt?”
_Lieutenant Hunt_: “I would send a messenger back to the 3rd platoon to
get started on its way to the captured position.”
_The Director_: “Just how would you do that?”
_Lieutenant Hunt_: “I would turn to the runner of the 3rd platoon, who
is with me and tell him:
“‘Take this message to the leader of the 3rd platoon: ‘The 3rd
platoon will report to Captain C at the enemy strong point at once,
moving by the shortest route.’
“I would have the runner repeat the message and make sure that he,
himself, understands what is wanted.”
