Crossen Combat ChroniclesBiography of a WWII Artilleryman - by Chip Heyl
The United States Army's Center for Military History starts their various histories of the War with the words: "World War II was the largest and most violent armed conflict in the history of mankind."
We are in the News... No one can doubt this conclusion and this essay depicts some of that violence. It does not try to, nor was any attempt made, to explain the psychological effects on the combatants. In the Pacific Theaters of the war, no quarter was given, and none asked. ...veterans who have read the Crossen Combat Chronicles tell me this is one of the best histories they have read. There were millions of fighters and thousands more supporting individuals at home for every warrior in the conflict. No sane American, or Japanese for that matter, went untouched by their huge national commitment made during this conflict. The Crossen Combat Chronicles focuses on Captain John R. Crossen, and his advancement to Lieutenant Colonel and the position of 135th Field Artillery Battalion Commander. Download the Free Crossen Combat Chronicles Slide Show Presentation | |||||||
