Corporal Kolodny
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Corporal Kolodny is a minor character in Joseph Heller's classic novel Catch-22.
Kolodny is Captain Black's assistant. It is he who erroniously reports that the city of Bologna has been captured by the allies, when Yossarian redraws the battle lines on the map. Kolodny later drunkenly shoots himself in the leg during the Thanksgiving party. Gus & Wes make a rare exception and admit him to the hospital even though he is not running a fever.
