Under Fire

At its deepest point last week the Anzio beachhead ran about eight miles inland. The Germans had dragged up 210-mm. guns. Virtually every yard of the area was exposed to artillery fire as well as bombing. Even field hospitals (plainly marked with Red Cross emblems) were in range of the guns.

Within six days three Allied hospitals were bombed or shelled, six U.S. Army nurses were killed.
