DF-1.JPG"Short Round"247 views"Short Round" was the mascot for Bravo Battery, 2/9th Arty. Short Round was wounded and Danny was the one who stitched him up and took him to the Doc. Short Round stayed in Danny's bunk. I I took him to be sewed up when he was hit. He was written up in The Stars & Stripes newspaper a couple different times. Our hero!

That's Geary Burrows in the background.
