Hold Out Until Help Comes On Taegu Front Battle
Four American infantrymen fought five North Korean T-34 tanks near a forward observation post 13 miles north of Taegu. Lt. Derwood Simms and Lt. Dixie Parker led a small team with Pfc. Frank Schiavone and Pfc. Edgar Taylor. They reported knocking out or repelling tanks while holding position as more ammo arrived, with Maj. Gordon Murch relaying the brief victory.
