A. & P.'s rivals-Kroger, Grand Union, Bohack and most of the rest-suffered bloodbaths trying to keep their...

Lying next to the sign were two pretty, crying, bloodstained girls with chest and leg wounds. Soldiers were shouting 'Stretchers! Bandages!' and children were being carried out on the shoulders of soldiers to a first aid station...
