Book Description
An eyewitness account by those who with no basic training experienced 268 continuous days of combat in Europe during World War II. This was the one light artillery battalion that was selected to be Theatre Artillery and thus was attached to eight of the main-line Infantry divisions as the need developed. Their experiences ranged from the breakout of Normandy on through to Salzburg.

About the Author
The author was the youngest officer in the battalion when it was organized at Camp Rucker in 1943. He remained with the same battery for the entire war. Generally he was a forward observer travelling with the front-line infantry.
