Wagons... Ho!

There was only one thing that Sergeant Jack Brett and his Matilda tank crew hated as much as the Germans, and that was a certain tank transporter crew from the Royal Army Service Corps. When they weren’t fighting the one, they were fighting the other. And so, when all three met on the Egyptian desert, […]

BURDEN OF COMMAND

Issue Number: 4785
Burden Of Command

The accepted wisdom is that to command a group of fighting men, a leader needs to inspire. Sometimes he needs to inspire confidence, sometimes loyalty…and sometimes fear.

Brothers At War

Meet Clive Rushden, brilliant Hurricane pilot. Meet Mark Rushden, young Commando officer. They were brothers, but put them in the same room and they’d be at each other’s throats. What a pair to choose for one of the most daring missions ever conceived – and behind enemy lines.

England, 1405 AD. Peasants in Somerset wanted rid of the Allinghams, their feudal overlords. The Allinghams’ men were as brutal and cruel as their masters.

In the summer of 1944, a frightening new weapon was unleashed against the war-weary British – the dreaded V1 flying bomb.

Where there were […]

D-DAY DODGERS

Issue Number: 4781
D-Day Dodgers

In 1944 someone named the servicemen in Italy the D-Day Dodgers; as though somehow the war they were fighting was a cushy number compared to the battles in France. Outraged, one national newspaper decided to expose these loafers once and for all. That’s how reporter Perry Potter and his photographer Chalky White came to be […]

FIGHTING FURY

Issue Number: 4780
Fighting Fury

He was only a skinny little guy, about five feet nothing at all…but, by jiminy, any Nazis who ran up against Private Sam Small were out of luck. While his ammo lasted, Sam shot them; then with his empty gun he clubbed them; when it was in splinters, he started in with his bare hands! […]

Convict Commandos - Evil In The East

The jungle can be a hostile place, besides the strength-sapping heat and humidity, dangerous animals and plants abound.

Death On The Wind

Staff-Sergeant Harry Sale of the Special Air Service had fought his way out of more tight corners than he cared to remember.
