The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with Donald Morrison. Morrison was inducted into the Army in 1944 after he graduated high school. He was sent to the 2nd Infantry Division as a replacement in the winter of 1945. He suffered frostbite, scarlet fever, and mumps. He was knocked out by an artillery barrage and left behind by his advancing unit who believed he was dead. Morrison awoke and found his unit. He discovered a large shell fragment had been stopped by a pocket Bible, saving his life. Morrison discusses being shot at by a group of German boys aged 11 to 15. He eventually was sent to Czechoslovakia after the war had ended to guard German prisoners. Morrison was discharged in 1946.
