Prepping a Rogers' Raider

Not a minstrel show but a night patrol across the Roer impels Pvt. Ed Diamond of Rogers' Raiders to put on lamp-blacking.  This job's a lot different from his Army studies in engineering at Purdue ASTP.

Portrait of a Tired Soldier

An army advances because the individual doughs in the line advance.  Most of them keep movig; some of them fall; others, like Pfc. Joseph F. Leradi of Philadelphia, Pa., do their job until weariness is etched in every line of their bodies.  YANK's Pfc. Pat Coffey made this photo at the 80th Division field hospital on the Third Army front.

Thoughts on the Huertgen Forest

...The infantry, free from the claustrophobia of the Huertgen Forest, went on, but behind them they left their dead, and the forest will stink with deadness long after the last body is removed. The forest will bear the scars of our advance long after our own scars have healed, and the Infantry has scars that will never heal.

For Huertgen was agony, and there was no glory in it except the glory of courageous men--the MP whose testicles were hit by shrapnel and who said, "okay, Doc, I can take it"; the man who walked forward firing Tommy guns with both hands until his arm was blown off and then kept firing the other Tommy gun until he disappeared in a mortar burst...

--Sgt. Mack Morriss
