Show Yank Dentist Braves Guns to Pull G.I.'s Tooth WITH THE 43 RD INFANTRY DIVISION, ROSARIO, LUZON. Capt. John S. Egenberger of Omaha, Neb., a regimental dentist, heard a report that a Yank infantryman infantry-man was suffering a toothache in a foxhole on hotly contested Hill No. 600 near here. j Captain Egenberger crawled and crept half a mile through artillery and sniper fire, found the foxhole and patient, administered novocaine and yanked out the tooth. He offered to evacuate the infantryman, but the latter said, "I'd rather stay here than go back through what you just came through." Captain Egenberger crawled back alone. |
