Overview
US Army Corporal George Kritzman recounts the aftermath of what was his third combat wounding in the Korean War. A former LA police officer, Kritzman was under heavy sedation due to the severity of his leg injury, which was initially operated on at the 8055 MASH unit. Unaware of what would happen to him and what his long term prognosis was and would be, he, along with many of his fellow wounded, was transferred from hospital to hospital, each a little better equipped to deal with his injury. However, his ultimate goal was to make it back home to his wife and son, from who his thoughts were never far.

This is a travelogue with a difference. It follows the injured American GI George Kritzman who has been injured fighting in Korea. First he ends up in a mobile hospital (MASH only no Loretta Swit) thence to a field hospital before a final stop in Korea before being shipped to Japan, Hawai’i and finally San Francisco where his wife and son are eagerly awaiting his return. It’s quite an impressive advertisement for the efficiency of the clearing services of the US military in treating wounds and getting their personnel repatriated and hospitalised as quickly and painlessly as possible. Along the way we get a sense of the war torn nature of the country he’s fighting in, and also of the resilience of a Tokyo now five years on from the end of World War II before arriving back with a message about how important one single life is in their democracy. It’s not so much a feature as a public information film with a personable host and a reassuring message to convey to the folks worried about their loved ones.
