Time Out For War Military History Paperback by ED C. Cury from Berkley 1991

Tells the stories of front line soldiers at Omaha Beach, the liberation of Paris, and battles in the Korean War

"Fix Bayonets and Follow Me!"
shouted Lieutenant Millett.

Not one man lagged behind. 

They charged, screaming and cursing, dead ahead. 

A rain of bullets and shells cracked the ice under their feet.

Pfc. John W. Lescallet carried the platoon's machine gun. 

Miraculously, he made the run downhill without falling.

Then crossing the paddies, he was knocked down by a mortar hit that ruined the bipod. 

But he kept running with the weapon. 

Then a bullet hit the gun over the latch cover and ruined it.

Throwing the gun away, Lescallet kept on going. He still had his pistol.
