Fighting Fronts #2
An anthology of combat stories featuring U.S. Infantry troops in battle during World War II. The visible story depicts the 14th Combat Team under heavy artillery fire, with soldiers fighting exhaustion and casualties as they attempt to hold their position and await relief, including a scene where wounded soldier Joe receives medical attention and the unit must decide whether they can hold their ground or must make a tactical retreat. The issue also includes advertisements for instructional books on wrestling, hockey, boxing, ju-jitsu, and other topics aimed at young readers.
