Stop Attack Amid Dead War Wreckage
In Belgium near Monschau on December 19 American Doughboys halted a German assault on the northern flank amid wrecked tanks and casualties. The hospital south of the town was overrun and recaptured with hospital personnel evacuated as doughboys and tank destroyers fought German armor in a fierce three hour engagement. Lt Col Charles Horner and Pvt William Cavara led a reconnaissance jeep assault to reclaim the town alongside paratroopers and nurses, with Stilmore and Western-evoking firefights continuing in the pine forests and snow covered hills.
