The front line belong to the men who worked there—rifle-men and machine gunners, mortarman, forward artillery observers, communications men, and medics.

前沿地带为作业于此地人们所掌握——步、、迫击炮、炮火校射、通讯，以救护。

To preserve their noncombatant status under the Geneva Convention, the War Department did not give medics combat pay (ten dollars extra a month) or the right to wear the combat Infantryman Badge.

为保持日内瓦公约规定斗人员身份，陆军部不给救护发放作津贴（每月特加10美元），也不允许他们佩戴步荣誉证章。
