THIS is
HALLORAN"

THIS is the story of Sergeant
L Harry Holland, tank command
er, Second Division, a typical CT.
to whom all enemy soldiers really
look alike.
Holland was in the third wave
that hit the beach at Fedela, North
Africa, back in the early days of the
war. No sooner was Hollands tank
ashore than the Germans heaved
the military book" at him. A Ger
man IS lobbed over and exploded
nearby, sending shrapnel ripping in
to his stomach and foot But this
didn't stop Holland.
The Sergeant's wounds were
patched on the spot and the tank
rolled on to run smack into six Ital-
ian armored cars. The Americans
knocked off three and the others
quickly surrendered.
Impatient to be off again, Holland
turned in his prisoners for safe
Keeping, only to spot a German staff
car headed toward him and his men.
The Americans first shot blasted
away the front wheels and the Nazi
car came to an ignominious stop.
Five startled German soldiers spill
ed out with their hands raised high.
They all looked alike to Holland
who, as matter of routine, turned
them over to an infantry major and
plunged ahead. Consequently, the
much-surprised Sergeant received
the Croix de Guerre and the Dis
tinguished Service Cross.
One of the prisoners. Won Thuma
by name. turned out to be general
1.-The first to be captured in World
War II.
