Fightin' Marines #17
The anthology opens with "Canteen Kate," in which a woman at a military canteen expresses concern about Major Herringbone's harsh training regimen involving foxhole digging in rocky terrain. In "Biff Barnes and Smokey Walsh in Flying High," the two Marines receive a special pass for twelve hours of leave but are forced to hide under a net near Sergeant Kennedy's position; later, they discover an ammunition dump hidden beneath a hill and must retrieve it from inside a cave while dealing with enemy soldiers and broken communications.
