Jerry Fields

Jerry Fields was the loader for Sgt. Michael Pound in a barrel commanded by 2nd Lt. Bryce Poffenberger. In 1942 the barrel was hit by an armor-piercing round and set on fire outside Canton. While escaping from the turret, Poffenberger was killed by machinegun fire but Fields and Pound escaped unharmed. The two assisted Tor Svenson, the driver, when he was wounded in the leg also by machinegun fire.
