This anthology issue contains three war stories: "The Stupid Pfc," featuring Private Monahan, described as probably the dumbest soldier in the army, who nevertheless proves himself capable during a fire fight; "Carry the Mail!," a story about soldiers in combat delivering critical supplies; and "The Legend Dies," which depicts a climactic battle scene involving military personnel under fire. The issue showcases typical Charlton war comic action with explosive combat sequences and soldier protagonists facing dangerous battlefield situations.

Contains 5 stories
The Legend Dies
7 pp · War

Lt. Moose Amberg earns his legendary status on the Normandy beaches as an unstoppable combat leader whose fearless aggression and unconventional tactics make him a hero to his men and a sensation back home—but when war correspondents and Pentagon pressure pull him from the front lines for press appearances and rear-area duties, the fighting officer discovers that fame and soft living come with their own costs. As Amberg grows comfortable with champagne and accolades, his combat edge begins to fade, setting the stage for a reckoning that only the battlefield can deliver.

Warriors of Old - The Knight
1 pp · Non-Fiction, Historical, War

Warriors of Old—The Knight explores the rigorous path to medieval knighthood in the 12th century, when the rank was earned through years of disciplined training rather than birthright. Young pages began their education around age seven in a knight's service, learning everything required to eventually become a warrior of standing. This historical account traces how a youth was tested and molded into one of history's most formidable fighting men.

Carry the Mail!
7 pp · War

Sgt. Klein's mail run across 400 miles of North African desert should be routine—until the day a colonel aboard his jeep discovers the Germans know far more than they should about this particular delivery. Trapped between enemy patrols, tanks, and a roadblock with no safe route forward, Klein and his unexpected passenger must think fast and improvise their way through, using everything the desert and their wits can offer to reach division headquarters alive.

Hero's Reward
1 pp · Non-Fiction, War
The Stupid P.F.C.
8 pp · War
An accident-prone soldier proves his merit on the field of battle and gains a promotion.

An accident-prone P.F.C. named Monahan earns a reputation as a jinx among his outfit—until a chance encounter with General McGraw during a crucial battle gives him the opportunity to prove his worth under fire. When the general's jeep needs fixing and German forces close in, Monahan's instinctive courage and determination finally show his comrades what he's made of.
