Two-Fisted Tales #23[#6] (1951)
A story set in France in the last few months of World War I, as veteran American soldier Pappy Davidson tries to impart some of his hard won experience on recent replacement Caruso. Two page vignettes for each month from August to November as they withstand attacks from air, artillery and gas until they finally get to the end of the war.
Very nice story, Kurtzman and Wood were always a good combination, with good attention to detail, using silent panels and sound effects well and even adding a few touches of humour to the overall messiness of war in the trenches.
