Description

Beyond the Call: Private First Class Lloyd C. Hawks at Carano, Italy, 1944 follows a combat medic who crawls into open ground under relentless fire to reach and save wounded comrades. Listeners hear a vivid account of his repeated crossings between the lines, the desperate conditions on the Anzio beachhead, and the wider Italian campaign of World War Two that framed his actions. The narrative weaves battlefield detail with reflection on duty, courage, and the quiet leadership of those who act when no one can order them to. Beyond the Call is the Monday feature of Dispatch: U.S. Military History Magazine, and the Beyond the Call podcast is developed by Trackpads dot com to preserve stories like Hawks’ for new generations.
