Description: "As a combat medical aidman of Company B, 1st Medical Battalion, First Infantry Division, Allen N. Towne experienced some of the pivotal events of World War II. "Doctor B," as his unit was known, was attached to the 18th Regimental Combat Team and moved with them, providing continuous close medical support.".

"Covering both little-known engagements, and such historic moments as the victory over Rommel in North Africa, the campaign in Sicily, and the D Day landings at Omaha Beach, this book is both a memoir and a history of one of the war's most impressive units. Based on both official "morning reports" and the author's personal notes, this work chronicles events both epic and intimate."--BOOK JACKET.
