The officer men follow up the hill · Easy Company — Officers
Richard Winters (The officer men follow up the hill) is a character in Band of Brothers, part of Easy Company — Officers. Dick Winters arrives at Camp Toccoa a quiet Pennsylvania teetotaler and leaves it the finest combat leader Easy Company will ever have.
