Bob
Dole's Unit:
2nd
Platoon, 10th Mountain Division, in Italy's Po
Valley.
Soon
after this picture was taken, these men would fight
valiantly on Hill 913. Many would not return
home.
Senator
Dole is kneeling at the far left, in a light jacket, no
helmet. Sgt. Ollie Manninen, who dragged Lt. Dole out of
the machine gun fire, is in the top row, 3rd from left. Sgt.
Frank Carafa, (lower left, no helmet) pulled him to safety.
Pvt. Arthur McBryar (tallest man, 5th from right), stayed
with Dole for more than six hours until help
came.
