Vol. 1 No. 3

Cover: Close One … France’s Comeback Fight; Vesuvius Blitzes a Town — The grin on the face of this infantryman and the sorry condition of his helmet bear testimony to a close call on the Italian front. A shell fragment pierced his helmet and liner but obviously left his head in good condition. The lucky soldier is Pfc. Andrew Warner and he comes from Wilkes-Barre, Pa.
