Correct. Eugene Sledge wrote it. He is a character I have only seen fleetingly in the first few episodes (Upto ep.5 now), but that is because he joined up a little later due to his heart murmer. Should see more of him soon.

The Sgt who won the MoH at Guadalcanal is also in the Clint Eastwood film 'flags of our fathers'.
