Private Maurice White of the Loyal Edmonton Regiment watches German troops move up on his position.  The Loyal Edmonton Regiment was comprised of Farm boys, trappers, and store clerks drawn from all over northern Alberta, Canada.  They saw fierce combat in Italy, especially Ortona where they were involved in house to house and hand to hand combat with German Paratroopers.

Mortars and machine-gun fire rains down on the Carleton and York Regt. However, a small group of Seaforths breaks through the German line and captures nearly 80 prisoners. Without reinforcements, the Highlanders are withdrawn, but a weak point in the enemy defences is discovered near Casa Berardi.
