Who is the actor in Stock's platoon...?


There isn't a big cast listing for Merrill's Marauders, and I wasn't able to find the names of one of the actors. He is in Lt. Stockton's platoon, and is called "Chris" by name several times. He has blonde hair and towards the end has a cut over his eye after the Japanese banzai attack.

Any help would be appreciated. Gracias.

The role of Chris was played by an actor named Paul Edwards. I've no idea why is isn't in the credits on the movie because his name appears elsewhere in regards to the cast. There are several actors in imdb with that name, all obscure, but I am guessing this is him:

Here are some image links showing his name:

BTW, just want to add, I've long been a big fan of this movie. Saw it the first time at a drive in when I was 7 yrs old. My folks and I were on our way home from the grocery store, and had to pass the drive in and saw that the movie was playing the next few nights. I begged my folks to take me to see it, and they did. I've seen it 20-30 times since then.
