...only relatively safe spot at Con Thien is the aid station presided over by Navy Lieut. Donald Shortridge, 26, of Indianapolis. Dug deep into the muck and reinforced by heavy wooden beams and a mountain of sandbags, his spartan shelter is strictly for keeping the wounded alive until they can be evacuated to hospitals in the rear. Shortridge uses a stretcher balanced between two sawhorses as his emergency operating table; hissing Coleman lanterns furnish the light, and an armored amtrack stands outside to accommodate extra patients.
