With the backdrop of a flatcar of M26 Pershing Heavy Tanks, Lt. Sullivan and D/2/5 1stMarBrigademove toward the Brigade's savage battles with the veteran PLA 6th and 4th Divisions in the Naktong Bulge region of the Pusan Perimeter.
Within a few days, Lt. Sullivan would be seriously wounded while knocking out a PLA Maxim Heavy Machine Gun, with a 3.5in bazooka.
Rejoining his company when "the scabs got hard", Lt. Sullivan would be wounded twice more: during the Perimeter battles, the invasion at Inchon, the fighting around Seoul, and the epic fight-out from Yudam-ni at the Chosin Reservoir.
