== The movie is Corporal Upham's story, not Private Ryan ==
Line 8:

Line 14:
Upham, however, starts out a clerk and cartographer from the 29th Infantry Division, so inexperienced that he almost took someone's souvenir Stahlhelm instead of his own M1 helmet, asks if could take his typewriter, and tries to take more equipement than needed. After his breakdown at Ramelle, he begins fight effectively, and ends up being one of the three in the squad (including Ryan) to survive to the end.
