This pessimistic view seems justified until Dr. Canavan (Gary Cooper), an Army surgeon with a Freudian attitude towards fear, gets to work on the Filipino morale. After an epidemic of cholera, a chase in the trap-filled jungle, and a bloodcurdling Moro attack, Dr. Canavan's and Uncle Sam's proteges come...
...they were located, each pill box, block house, tank trap or tank obstruction was shelled, then rushed by light tanks and infantry. One after one they were destroyed, the beleaguered German advance squads often blowing them up before scuttling back to their heavy forts. Behind them they left land mines which, when the French artillery did not find them in time blew up the advancing tanks.

Miss Ravenel was born in New Orleans, loved it, admired it, complained that she was lonely as a mouse in a trap in the New Boston House in New England, whither her father carried her when Louisiana seceded. New Englanders, she said, were right poky, and all the beaux so immature and awkward she thought the Yankees must execute their men at 21. When one of these milksops announced the first defeat...
