Michael Pound

Michael Pound was a sergeant in the U.S. Army who served under Colonel Irving Morrell's command. After his CO's wounding in 1941, Pound was transferred to another unit. He was rash, loud and outspoken toward senior officers, but an effective mentor to junior officers who served with him. He saw action in Ohio and the Battle of Pittsburgh, and was promoted to lieutenant by Don Griffiths, his former lieutenant who was wounded by a Confederate machine gun in Ohio.
