Who landed and first walked on the moon during Apollo 13?

Neil Armstrong was the first person to walk on the Moon, with Buzz Aldrin being the second, on July 20, 1969 (US time). But they were on the Apollo 11 mission, not Apollo 13. Apollo 13, launched on April 11, 1970, had an onboard explosion that prevented a lunar landing. Instead, they circled the Moon and safely returned to Earth. It was the only inflight failure of the 9 Apollo missions to the Moon.
