Command decision on beer!
We did a poll Saturday on a fictional event where your men are doing some illegal brewing. Choices included ending it, and 'do medicinal facilities' (runner-up).
But the winner was "men deserve this small if dangerous relief," and here is the result:
Your decision on "illegal" and maybe "dangerous" brewing, Captain? Visit our official Burden of Command Twitter page and vote for your order.
No brewing
"Medicinal" brewing facilities allowed
Spread word of poisoning
It's dangerous but I'll allow it
(we had to omit the "safe Army beer" choice because Twitter only provides four poll choices)
We'll find the most popular order, then reveal what happens with that choice!

June 5-6, 1944
After the original landing in January, the Battle of Anzio officially ended on June 5, 1944, with the capture of Rome. This marked the end of a months-long slog for the Cottonbalers of the 7th Infantry Regiment.
But the very next day, June 6, 1944, would see an even bigger event in history -- D-Day in Normandy, France. Allied forces were advancing all over the continent, but many months of combat were still ahead.
It's a quiet weekend here in 2021, but in 1944 the dates of June 5 and 6 were important to the Allied cause. Stay tuned to Burden of Command as we trace the history of the Cottonbalers across Northern Africa and Europe.

Refining and colorizing old images

We're finding, refining, and colorizing nearly 1000 images. Your Cottonbalers (7th Rgt, 3rd US Inf Div) landed in North Africa as part of Operation Torch 1942.
In late World War II, this was often the outcome. You'll want to learn combined arms.
Something's burning
"Tiger, Tiger, burning bright"
Sorry Captain, that's "Sherman, Sherman, burning bright." The Sherman gained the grim nickname "Ronson" because, like the cigarette lighter, "it lights up the first time, every time."
