A soldier was left wounded and dying with just 8 bullets. His body was found with 8 enemy soldiers around him!
Private Thomas Baker's company has weld up by enemy fire in the Mariana Islands during WWII. There, he made one of his many brave gestures: he took a bazooka and dashed 100 yards toward his enemy to allow his company to mount an assault.
Later, they were attacked by surprise, and he took the rearguard and was able to hold off the enemy and kill many of them. During another attack, he was seriously wounded. He insisted on remaining in combat and kept firing at the enemy.
When it was clear he'd die anyway, he decided not to risk his company's lives and asked to be left propped up to a tree. He was given a soldier's pistol with 8 rounds of ammo.
The company left. His body was later found surrounded by 8 bodies and his pistol empty. For all this, Thomas Baker received a posthumous Medal of Honor for his bravery.
