Well beside the fact of South Carolina contributing goods, and supplies to soldiers South Carolina also had the training base of Paris Island that trained about 200,000 soldiers. South Carolina also had soldiers in the 2nd infantry battalion. Also South Carolina had Men like Pvt. Furman L. Smith in the Italian campaign. His commander had been shot and wounded so stood by his side and protected him until he was shoot and killed. Another man to talk about is Pvt. William McWhorter. When a group of Japanese soldiers attacked his position he grabbed a machine gun and held them back killing several of them. When a grenade was thrown near a group of his buddies he jumped over the grenade held it to his chest and saved his friends but in turn it killed him. So now you know some bit of what South Carolina did in the Second World War.
