This 49-page illustrated memoir was narrated by Ron L. Gill and written by Craig Galloway. It begins in 1940, one year before Gill was drafted into the U. S. Army. The bulk of the narrative is devoted to describing Gill's experiences during the Second World War.

Gill begins his account with his basic training in Texas and his experiences in the Army's School of Mines and Metallurgy. When Gill deployed to Europe in 1944, his descriptions turn to his experiences in European tank battles. These descriptions include friends lost in battle (including one who was killed by friendly fire), German soldiers who surrendered to his unit, and the rudimentary instruction that his unit received in the German language. Interestingly, Gill also gives his opinions of German solders and civilians, mentioning the impartiality of German doctors (who tended to American POWs as well as they did to German soldiers) and the honor that German civilians accorded German soldiers.
