All DQs have been asked and answered. “Firstname Lastname” questions only.

227

I’m stumped.

Wracking my brains and coming up empty, given the answers provided.

229

Unless it’s someone who’s not exactly a household name, I haven’t been able to find anybody.

230

I might as well guess. Are you Carwood Lipton?

231

Yes! My name is C Carwood Lipton, and I was first sergeant of E Company, 2/506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, when I received a battlefield promotion to second lieutenant. I was played by Donnie Wahlberg in Band of Brothers.
And De La Rue squeaks in just under the wire. :smiley: I had it, you got it…

232

Never heard of him. I guess he rates a Wiki article, though: Carwood Lipton - Wikipedia

Way to go, DLR! I don’t remember ever hearing about him.

Wow – y’all have never seen Band of Brothers?
