About Private Ferguson[]
Private Ferguson is out on patrol with his buddy Private Rich (who takes the camera's point of view) and the rest of his squad. Their sergeant keeps yelling at them to spread out, but they don't move quickly enough, so when the squad comes under mortar attack, both Ferguson and Rich are injured, Ferguson in the leg and Rich in the throat. They meet again in pre-op and then in post-op where Ferguson occupies the bed opposite. At the end of the episode, the two are shipped out together to be sent to an evacuation hospital and then home. Rich can't talk but Ferguson says it for both of them: “We made it!"
Ferguson, jubilant at making it through the war safely.
