Private Trask was a Machine Gunner, and one of the Ramelle paratroopers.

Biography[]

Trask was first seen in Ramelle, when Captain John H. Miller and his men came looking for PFC James Francis Ryan, who lost all of his brothers. Ryan refuses to leave, so Miller and his men stay to help. Trask then shows Miller his Machine Gun, and other supplies, and Mellish decides to replace Trask as Assistant Gunner (Corporal Henderson is the gunner), and Trask and Wilson decide to take positions in a building with a shattered window. He then participates in the Battle at Ramelle.
