#2 - Next In Command
Combat! - Season 1 - Episode 18
Corporal Cross (Ben Cooper) is the newest addition to the squad. For once, the new man is a veteran, but he is tormented by a fatal mistake he'd made on another hill. That mistake has crippled him, stripping away not just his ability to fire a rifle, but also his ability to be a soldier. Although not part of the main plot, Dick Peabody has a very strong episode as Littlejohn.
