Contains 5 stories
Battle For Hill 77!!
5 pp · War

Tensions run high among the outnumbered soldiers of the 21st Division holding Hill 77 in Korea—a strategic but desolate position key to the enemy's offensive—and when a sniper's shot ignites a personal clash between two men, they must set aside their grievance to survive a relentless enemy assault. As ammunition runs low and darkness becomes their only hope, the unit fights to hold the line using everything at their disposal, including a desperate grenade counterattack that may be their last chance. Forged in the heat of combat, an unlikely friendship emerges from the struggle for one forgotten hill.

General Orders
2 pp · Humor, War

A fresh recruit discovers that following general orders to the letter—especially at a military post—leads to some hilarious complications when he takes his sentry duties a bit too literally. This 1959 humor story captures the absurd clash between military regulations and real-world chaos in just two pages of pure comic fun.

Rescue Service U.S.A.F.
0.67 pp · Non-Fiction
Valley Trap!
2 pp · War

When the First Marine Division's supply lines get cut off by overwhelming enemy forces in a frozen North Korean valley in late November 1950, the troops face an impossible choice—but these leathernecks refuse to call it retreat. Fighting through every frozen mile from Yudami to Hagaru and beyond, the Marines charge repeatedly to carve a path for their wounded and their convoy, determined to reach the sea and safety by any means necessary.
