Summary of charles b. macdonald's company commander

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was in Longuyon, France, with the 23rd Infantry Company, which had just arrived from the United States. I was in charge of the company, and I felt weak and ineffectual. I had fought my way ashore in Normandy on D-Day, battled to the top of Hill 192 to pave the way for the St. Lô breakout, and stormed the ring of pillboxes at Brest. #2 The column began to climb the hill. The air felt refreshingly cool on my hands, and the mist turned into a fine rain. The men scrambled to get their packs undone and shelter halves spread over their equipment. #3 I was awakened the next morning by someone rapping on my tent and shouting that it was five o'clock. It was dark, but the rain had stopped. We had barely enough time to heat a K-ration meal before battalion headquarters sent a runner to tell us to load on the trucks. #4 The relief of Company I was imminent, and I was excited. I had been waiting for this moment for a long time. It was the defense of a quiet sector, and I was excited to finally be in combat.
