This document is the story of Arnold Feldt's tour of duty in World War II. He wrote part of it shortly after his return to the United States and then added a prologue, the basic training section and the final four sections in the spring of 2000, 55 years after some of these events took place. (The table of contents is at the bottom of this page when it appears on the web.) All footnotes are comments by Andy Feldt.
