Summary: A remarkable true story
Review: An Ordinary Soldier is the inspirational memoir of Charles William Gebhardt, who served in the 7th Infantry Division of the 17th Infantry Regiment, whose duties took them from the Aleutians to the Marshall Islands to the Philippines. He encountered life-threatening battles and during the course of World War II, yet also forged enduring friendships. Written by Gebhardt's nephew, An Ordinary Soldier follows his service from his difficult childhood and the rigors of boot camp into the true hell of combat. He would belong to the group that wore the symbol and shared the nickname of the "Hourglass". A remarkable true story that brings the Pacific Theater experience to vivid life, and a welcome contribution to military history and biography shelves.


Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Authors Words
Review: This book is written in the memory of my uncle Charles and for those who fought during World War II. Many stories have been written about the conflict of WWII, but many stories will never be written because they have been lost or forgotten through time. I have written this book of my uncle Charles and his best friend Harold, knowing that there are many stories like this that will never be told and for them this book remebers you. We must remember this great generation of our fathers for they have kept our freedom with their heroic sacrifices. Please read and enjoy this story and remember those who have fallen.

My best wishes to all who have served our country in time of war and peace and are fighting yet today.
THANK YOU
Marvin L. Gebhardt
