Rangers Battle Across Africa and Sicily in WW2 Heroics
The 1942 to 1943 campaigns feature Rangers landing at Arzew and Gela, seizing coastal guns, and racing from North Africa to Sicily. Descriptions recount Sened Station raid, El Guettar fighting, and a standout sniper assault at 1350 yards. Notable figures include Sgt. Sherman Legg and Col. William O. Darby, with tales of bravery, encounters with German and Italian forces, and the transformation of Rangers into a hardened assault force.
