At his right stood Bundy, also with arms upraised holding the side; and on the left, between the ladder and the wall, was Philpot. For a brief space they strove fiercely to support the overpowering weight, but Philpot had no strength, and the ladder, swaying over to the left, crashed down, crushing him upon the ground and against the wall of the house.
That evening the first field message from the 4th Brigade to Major-General Omar Bundy, commanding the 2d Division, went forward: Second Battalion, 6th Marines, in line from Le Thiolet through Clarembauts Woods to Triangle to Lucy.
