Reviews

“a memoir of his service as a combat medic with the Big Red One in WWII. This excellent memoir provides much detail about World War II from a perspective not usually found in combat accounts. Thanks to...Allen Towne for [his] contribution to the great story of the Big Red One”—Bridgehead Sentinel; “Very revealing...a treasure.”—Walter D. Ehlers, Medal of Honor Recipient, First Infantry Division.
