Description

A medical officer in the 34th "Red Bull" Infantry Division on the front lines of World War II, Lt.

Col./Maj. Arthur L. Ludwick, Jr., was responsible for the well-being of traumatized and wounded American soldiers through some of the bloodiest engagements in North Africa and Italy: Kasserine and Fondouk Passes, Hill 609, Monte Pantano, Cassino, and Anzio.

He was awarded both the Purple Heart and Silver Star, unusual combat commendations for an unarmed medical officer.

His letters home detail his experiences, with keen observations of the people and landscapes.

Based on Ludwick's letters and an archive of interviews, military documents and photos, this multifaceted narrative, compiled by his daughter, also tells the story of her discovery of her father as the young man she never knew.
