The Fighting Redhead
4 pp · war

PFC "Red" Shelton, a radio operator with the Marines at the brutal Battle of Tarawa in 1944, proves himself far more than just a voice on the line—when the fighting intensifies around the airfield, he abandons his post to hunt down Japanese positions, taking on snipers and machine gun nests despite mounting wounds. As the battle rages and casualties mount, this unsung Marine fights through the chaos to help push the advance forward, driven by grit and determination even as the enemy pours fire from every hidden crevice.

Hero of Koromakina Lagoon

When a Marine patrol led by Lt. Thomas H. Harvey Jr. gets trapped behind enemy lines in the swamp called Koromakina Lagoon during the Battle of Bougainville, their rusted weapons leave them defenseless and cut off from their own forces. P.F.C. John Perella, a 19-year-old from Springfield, Massachusetts, volunteers for a desperate mission: to swim out to sea under heavy enemy fire and reach the American lines before a scheduled counter-attack. His harrowing journey against the odds becomes the key to saving his trapped patrol from being caught in the crossfire.

The Tanks of Tarawa
3 pp · war

During the bitter fight for Tarawa in 1944, First Lieutenant Edward L. Bale, Jr. commands four Marine tanks—China Gal, Cecelia, Commando, and Colorado—in a desperate bid to break Japanese resistance across the blood-soaked island. As his tanks rumble into the thick of battle, blasting pillboxes and anti-tank guns while supporting a battalion clinging to a narrow beachhead, Bale and his crews face enemy counterattacks and their own mounting casualties in one of the war's most brutal engagements. The story chronicles the exploits of these steel-hulled warriors as they methodically crush Japanese strongpoints and turn the tide of the island's savage campaign.
