Second Lieutenant Compton commanded the second platoon of Easy Company in the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, part of the famed 101st Airborne Division
Band of Brothers.

Compton, he was the one that rose through the NCO ranks and got a battlefield commission, right?
I think you are thinking of Carwood Lipton ?
I had the honour to meet Buck Compton on a few occasions, he was a fine gentleman. My thoughts are with his family, friends and the surviving members of Easy who have had to say goodbye to a fair few of their members in the last year or so.
May he Rest in Peace.
