In the same vein of the timestamps I shared earlier, some folks expressed an interest in seeing what Sledge's book had to say about Ack Ack and Hillbilly. As such, as I have gone through and pulled all mentions of either man from within the prose of Sledge's book to share here. I didn't include footnotes because the information they included was pretty much already available on Wikipedia.

Be aware that, as the quotations come from the book, they likely contain spoilers.

( Eugene Sledge on Captain Andrew Allison Haldane, a.k.a. “Ack Ack”, Company Commander of K/3/5 )

( Eugene Sledge on 1st Lieutenant Edward A. Jones, a.k.a. “Hillbilly”, Leader of K/3/5’s Machine-Gun Platoon )
