Lt Henry Herrick, and the two highest ranking Sergeants under him were killed minutes into the ambush.Sgt. Ernie Savage actually not the highest ranking NCO at that point; there was another Sergeant First class, but they had to remain still and prone to avoid fire. Ernie Savage was the closest to Herrick and the platoon's Radio Operator. With support coming from artillery, which never fully knew Savage's position, they survived an against-all-odds-night.
