Who is Carwood Lipton in Band of Brothers?
The sergeant who held the company together · Easy Company — Enlisted
Carwood Lipton (The sergeant who held the company together) is a character in Band of Brothers, part of Easy Company — Enlisted. First Sergeant Carwood Lipton is Easy Company's connective tissue: the steady, decent NCO who knows every man's name, nerves and breaking point.
