Duffy

Duffy was a wireless operator in Col. Tom Colleton's regiment. As such, he carried a semi-portable radio transmitter/receiver in a big pack on his back and stayed close to Colleton. This was to allow the colonel to call for artillery support and for Mules to bomb U.S. strongpoints. While watching Duffy crawl towards him while they were under fire, Colleton thought that with the big radio pack Duffy looked like a human dromedary.
