Description

Near Hill 192 and St Georges d'Elle, France, 11 July 1944: Pfc. Ralson A. Shepherd was not the only hero among the ranks of the America dogfaces fighting near Hill 192. The battle minted heroes, including Private Joseph Marez, an aid man with the 9th Regiment. Disregarding a "hail of machine-gun and rifle fire" according to the unit history, Marez ran forward to attend to two wounded riflemen.

While he was holding a tourniquet to the first soldier's leg, Marez was hit in the head by a German bullet. Undaunted, he headed for the second man to render aid... but collapsed before reaching him.

Marez received the division's first Distinguished Service Cross for her bravery.

ASLComp St Lo: Hill 192 is a detailed ASLComp variant module that follows the American 2nd Infantry Division asn it attacks Hill 192 on the road to St. Lo. Located about five miles north-east of St. Lo., Hill 192 would hardly be classed as hill on most military maps, but in a countryside where a significant high point is twenty or thirty meters above the surrounding countryside, Hill 192, named for its height in meters, was a strategic point that would cost a lot in American lives.

This is not a complete game. Ownership of the ASLRB and modules providing Germans and American is a quirement to use this product.
