One thing about Doc Roe that the series doesn’t mention is that he wasn’t in any way a doctor. He had zero medical training, but the army was in such desperate need of medics, with the job of giving wounded soldiers enough aid to keep them alive until they could get to a proper hospital, that he was thrown into the job with a crash course in the basics. And yet he took to the job spectacularly well, and after the war numerous survivors attested that he had a nigh-supernatural ability to immediately appear after someone was wounded.

The M on the soldier’s forehead is so the hospital staff will know he’s already been given a morphine shot, and any more will cause an overdose. My grandfather shipped out for the war with the most famous person this happened to, future Senator Bob Dole, who suffered injuries that left his right arm paralyzed.

That is indeed Jimmy Fallon playing Rice, a role he got due to being related to him. He'd actually never learned to drive, being a lifelong New Yorker, and needed some quick lessons.

There must have been a line or something somewhere that implied that, because I got that impression. Either way a really crazy thing to be thrown into with no real training. Man was incredible.
