Battle Cry #18

1955-05-01 · 36 pages

Battle Cry #18 is an anthology of combat stories set during World War II. "A Day's Work!" follows a reporter embedded with American infantry as they undertake the grueling task of capturing and holding a German border town, fighting through pillboxes and German counterattacks before finally securing the objective. A separate story depicts an air operation where Captain Johnson arranges artillery support for an unprotected airstrip vital to the Allied advance, which comes under German attack and requires defensive action. "Medals Are for Maniacs" presents the cynical perspective of a soldier named Charley who witnesses a medal ceremony and refuses recognition, dismissing medals as only for those willing to die uselessly in combat.
