Notes: I spotted this small signature of John D'Agostino under the job number. It was hard to see because it was very obscured by the coloring.

Notes: This story takes place in Tunisia in May 1943 at the start of the battle of Hill 609, a major victory for the Allies in Africa. Five guys go up the hill on a reconnaissance mission. Only one returns alive and the suggestion is that his information was responsible for the victory. - John Benson
