Introducing World War II on Deadline

December 7, 2020 / Marc Lancaster / Leave a comment

While we haven’t written any new posts at The Low Stone Wall for a while now, that doesn’t mean we’ve stopped telling stories about the war. Check out World War II on Deadline at ww2ondeadline.com, where we cover the initial newspaper and radio reports about the history we now know so well, and profile the correspondents who brought home those stories.

Coming Soon

More than 400,000 Americans were killed in World War II, and virtually none of them are household names. We hope to tell the story of the lives and deaths of some of those men and women, day by day.

We went out into the road. Four mules stood there, in the moonlight, in the road where the trail came down off the mountain. The soldiers who led them stood there waiting. "This one is Captain Waskow," one of them said quietly. Two men unlashed his body from the mule and lifted it off and laid it in the shadow beside the low stone wall.
