Battel of Kwajalein 1944







That night was unbelievably terrible. There were many of them left and they all had one fanatical notion, and that was to take one of us with them. We dug in with orders to kill anything that moved. I kept watch in a foxhole with my sergeant and we bouth stayed awake all night with a knife in one hand a grenade in the other. They crept in among us, and every bush and rock took on sinister proportions. They got some of us, but in the morning they lay about, some with their riddled bodies actually inside our foxholes. Never have I been so glad to see the sun.
