Worst Moment Maj William H. Leach from Bn S-2 and 6 or 7 soldiers were killed at night by friendly fire while conducting a reconn across the Rhine River. A BAR gunner in defensive position on the riverbank was not notified that a patrol was crossing in front of his position in a raft and opened fire upon hearing noises in the water. I was scheduled to lead the patrol and the Major took my position for the experience.
