Cover: Nightlife in Cassino … Story of 5th Army’s Sgt. Kelly — Sliding down a rubble heap in Cassino, Slim Aarons, YANK photographer, bumped into this trigger-fingered New Zealander on guard at the entrance of his fortress. ” Right then I was glad I had worn a British helmet for that trip,” Slim said “My American helmet would have looked too much like a Kraut hat.”
