IT STABS TO THE GUTS OF WAR!

“In the early spring of 1943, a battalion of infantry were pulled out of the hills around Tunis. For thirteen weeks they had endured the hard, bitter fighting in the rain and the mud. The rear guard of this battalion was ‘C’ Company. They had provided the spearhead of the battle and had been in constant engagement with the enemy. Now, they were due for a rest.
The battalion was going to re-form and refit.”

Their rest is short-lived, however, as they receive orders to protect a vital post from the Germans…..
