F., JUNEAUBOQY EADIE, HERO OF DOOGAN IN HERO ROLE WITH THE 77TH DIVISION ON LEYTE—Infantrymen of the 77th may forget the battle for Ormoc heights, when it took artillery and hard-driving Dough- boys to budge the well-entrenched |Japs from their Alamo stronghold, but, from out the always accounts heard through- foxhole circuit, they will recall with "open admira- tion the heroic action of Pfe. Theo- dore J. Doogan, Juneau, Alaska, who single-handedly “a la Victor Mc Laglen” manned a heavy ma- chine gun and wiped out a nest of 17 Japs. Doogan’s heavy weapons’ com- pany was supporting infantrymen attacking a well-fortified brick building and hill beyond, from the right flank. “We were advancing with the attacking elements rooting the dug-in Japs out of their deep holes when I spied a Nip to my right getting ready to throw a hand grenade at us. I tried to shoot my pistol but it wouldn’t work. Luckily the Nips jumped back into a gul- ley,” said ‘Doogan Doogan’s buddies tell the story better than the modest Doughb “We were all over the place look- ing for concealed Japs. Suddenly we looked up, and there was ‘Machine Gun Bu the heavy gun cradled in his arms mowing down a whole line of Japs.” “It was the only thing I explained the tough private who had just been awarded the Silver Star for gallantry in action. “My pistol wouldn’t work.” Pfc. Doogan, whose mother, Mrs. 1 Doogan, lives in Juneau, was employed in the mines in the In- terior of Alaska. He enlisted in September, 1940, at Fort Lewis, Washington, and joined the 77th Infantry Division in February, 1944, A veteran of the Guam opera- tion, Doogan is winner of the Combat Infantryman's Badge.
