The following is an excerpt from an article that appeared in the Athens Banner-Herald Online and appears here by permission :
The Wolfhounds -- a famous infantry regiment that the movie and book, ''The Thin Red Line,'' was based on -- now are collecting books, diaries and photos from veterans of the regiment. Many of the books and journals contain first-hand accounts of war-torn life in an international conflict: ''It was pretty tough. When they're advancing on you so quick at night, you never know what you might hit,'' said George Langdale, who wrote a book about a part of the Korean War, ''The Wolfhounds of Sandbag Castle.'' ''When they get very close to you, you often resort to grenades.''
