Ishihara discusses arriving in Italy and traveling to Naples, what it was like being a part of an artillery battery, his assignments picking up water and rations, and experiencing enemy fire while in a bivouac area. He then talks about his experiences during the Lost Battalion rescue, the Champagne Campaign, and going to Germany, where he traveled near Dachau Concentration Camp.
