Hoosier First Casualty It started with the drive toward Chinju. On the second day of the battle Pfc. Charles W, Heckman, {of Traders Point, was holding a; {ridge west of Chindong-ni. A bul-| {let hit him in the chest. That was, the first death. Two men were wounded the same day—Pfc. Robert Skey, 20, of Ashland, Wis., and Pfc. William II. Bushnell, 21, of Paterson, N. J. Pfc. Skey nursed an arm injury for two months in a hos- { duty. On Aug. 17 the squad was in the thick of the fight for Obangi ridge in the Naktong Bulge. The battalion gained and lost the ridge three times. Then came the final assault. Communist shell fragments killed Pfc. Robert 8S. Hansler, 19, of McAllen, Tex. and Cpl. William L. McCarver, 20, of Los Angeles, Cal. Pfc. Philip N. Lenz, 18, of Oliva, Minn.,, was wounded by a machine gun while putting out an air panel, and died before reaching an aid station.
