I saw the interview with his SIG (Radio Signaler). Apparently his CO
(Jones's) felt that the lead companies attack had bogged down and needed
his
personal intervention. Not 100% clear (this was well over 10 years ago)
but
remember Sig saying that the CO was hit by fire from an uncleared
automatic
weapon pit behind him (possibly the reason why the attack was being held
up). Sig had been calling out a warning and trying to suppress the pit
with
fire from his rifle but apparently Jone's was too focused on what he was
doing to notice the danger.
