At Mount Bud Dajo, in action against rebel Moro forces, Signal Corps Officer First Lieutenant Gordon Johnston voluntarily joined the commanding officer of the unit attacking the enemy force on the trail at daybreak before the advance began and accompanied him to the last trench below the cotta. While waiting to complete the dispositions for the charge, he asked and obtained permission to advance to the base of the cotta. This he did under a hot fire from the Morro rifle pit to the left. He was among the first to reach the cotta. When the charge was ordered, while gallantly raising himself up to gain a foothold to climb up in advance of the others, he was severely wounded. Major Omar Bundy, who led that charge noted: "This especially brave action distinguished his conduct above that of his comrades." |
