Keith Argraves served in the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, he enlisted in 1941 and through much effort finally succeeded in being accepted into the all-volunteer elite paratroopers as a medic. Steeled with faith in God he refused to carry a gun into action. His first taste of action was in North Africa flying into Oran and tending the wounded at the fighting around Taffarui airport.

His adventures in the prisoner of war camps have become legend and read life fiction, but they are indeed fact.

Download or read book Should I Fight written by Barry W. Bussey and published by Barry W. Bussey. This book was released on 2010-12-31 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its organization in 1863 the Seventh-day Adventist Church has been counter cultural. In its Christian witness to modern society it has advocated keeping the seventh-day Sabbath, vegetarianism, abstinence from tobacco and alcohol and refusal of its members to bear arms. But the stance on the refusal to bear arms has seen a metamorphous in modern times. Today more Seventh-day Adventist young people have voluntarily joined the military than in any previous generation of the Church's history. This volume is a compliation of essays that were presented at a conference called to discuss the Adventist Church's position on concientious objection. The presenters considered the history of the Church's stand and the changing views. These discussions were not limited to American context but considered other countries including South Africa and Canada.
Download or read book The Bridge at Allerona written by Janet Kinrade Dethick and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-10-08 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book the survivors of one of the worst cases of friendly fire in World War 2 tell their story. On 28 January 1944 twenty-seven B-26 bombers from 441, 442, 443 and 444 squadrons, 320 Bomb Group, United States Army Air Force, bombed a bridge over the river Paglia at Allerona to the north of Orvieto, Italy. At the time a Prisoner of War train carrying Allied servicemen from PG Camp 54 Fara in Sabina to Germany was crossing the bridge. The exact composition of the train, and the number of persons aboard, is still open to conjecture: the majority of the card-indices and transfer documents were destroyed with the train. The British authorities learned about what happened through the interception of German communications, and on 14 February British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, in passing on the information to President Roosvelt via a special ULTRA message, was insistent that the bombing should remain top secret as a leak would point directly to British control of the German code.
