Articles Inside:

Surprise Party at Eniwetok — The shores of this fast strong-hold of the enemy in the Marshalls were so quiet at first that the landing Americans thought it was another Kiska. Then the Japs peered out of their camouflaged foxholes and opened a deadly fire from all sides. / By Sgt. Merle Miller (Sgt. John A. Bushemi, Lt. Col. Harold I. (Hi) Mizony, Lt. Col.

Counterattack — When the Germans launched a drive of their own against a stunned and reduced American force pushing on San Pietro, it took a couple of mor­tars, a couple of heroes and a lot of plain guts to stop them. / By Sgt. Newton H. Fulbright (Cpl. Quinten Barrington, 1/Sgt. Red Jones, Sgt. Dudley Henry,

Air-Sea Rescue — When a soldier rescues another soldier under fire, they may call it “unusual” and give him a citation. When the Air Sea Rescue pulls men out of “that old devil sea” it’s just a job. If you ever fall out of the sky into a dinghy in the North Sea and that magic black launch picks you up, just give a brief “thanks” because that’s the way it is—without trumpets or brass bands. / By Cpl. John D. Preston (Ron Spittle and Coxswain A. J. Cornelius)
