Synopsis for "Home by Christmas"
In a quiet, snow-covered Italian field on Christmas Eve, Rock & Easy Co are attacked by a Nazi Company and the fighting soon turns hand-to-hand. The battle ends the next morning and only Lonesome is missing. Did he go AWOL? Rock is determined to find him and bring him back. Lonesome was a Kansas farmer and carried a photo of his family everywhere. He proved an excellent soldier during all of Easy's combat missions, but he was determined to be back home by Christmas to help on the farm. Rock finds Lonesome inside a farmhouse helping the family trim their Christmas tree. The farmhouse is shelled by a Tiger, that Lonesome and Rock take out with their machine guns and grenades. The duo return to Easy before Lonesome is found missing. "A GI's home is his foxhole," Rock says, and thus Lonesome is Home for Christmas.
