Shiloh Davidson was one of the soldiers in the author's intelligence section, and seems to have been a close personal friend, though little biographical information is offered about him. He attended Williams' University with the class of 1944 and came from a wealthy family of influence. During a night patrol, Davidson was shot several times and thrown back against barbed wire. The Japanese illuminated the body and area with eerie green flares so that the author and his men could see Davidson hanging on the wire, writhing in pain, and screaming for several hours until he finally died. The author visited Davidson's mother after the war.
