ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG,
J Humor, Grim Reality Joined in South
Pacific War Experiences Related by
PFC. D. N. Coble, Graduate of R. H. S.
The censor in this outfit fin
ally broke down and will let us
tell a few of the things we have
been doing," writes PFC. Duane
N. Coble, son of Mrs. Edna M.
Parker, Rt. 1, Roseburg. Private
Coble is a graduate of Roseburg
high school and was a member
of Co. D, 162nd Infantry, Oregon
National Guard, when that unit
was called Into service. Ho has
since been transferred to anoth
er infantry company.
"We went through the New
Georgia and Munda campaigns,"
he writes. His letter details one
day's battle as follows:
"We had dug in for the night
and our artillery was laying
down a barrage out in front of
us all night. The Munda airfield
was about 2,000 yards to our
front, and we were to push off
the next morning to take the air
field. But we didn't know that
then.
"At the break of day, our plan
es put on a little show for us.
First the dive-bombers, then the
heavier bombers. They dropped I
ineir nomas out m front of us,
knocking out antiaircraft posi
tions and paving the way for us.
The concussion from the bombs
was pretty strong, even where
wo were. It was really pretty. Our
pianes just seemed to dron
straight down out of nowhere and
lay their eggs.
Dud Shell Throws Scare ,
"As soon as the planes were
gone we started to movo up. We
were going fine, not meeting
much resistance, when all of a
sudden all hell broke loose. We
ran right into some small Jan
artillery pieces. Our of fleers call
ed for mortar fire, which broke
up the Jap battery and we kept
on moving up. One shell lit about
ten feet in front of me and kick
ed up dirt. Lucky fo.' me, again,
it was a dud. Hut you should
have seen me hunt a hole. You
would have died laughing.
"We weren't far from the
beach and all of us were anxious
to get there and clean up, as we
had been in dense jungles for
about three weeks. We had,, on
one-piece camouflage suits we
call them zoot suits and I think
my suit would stand up alone,
it was so stiff with mud and dirt.
"Well, wo were held up again
by Jap sniper fire. They had us
pinned down for a while so a
couple of us crawled into a big
shell hole and waited for orders
to move forward again. We saw
a bunch of Jap planes maneuver
ing above us and, sure enough, it
was R good old dog fight. I guess
the Japs were putting up their
last flight of planes. I saw two
Zeros go down and one dive-
bomber. Two Jap dive-bombers
flew real low over us and one of
our little navy planes sneaked
around from behind a cloud and
drilled on dead center. It was
really pretty as long as we were
not on the receiving end.
Deadly Surprise For Japs
"Finally we moved on up and
hit the beach and ran Into a lot
of Jap pillboxes. I guess the Japs
evacuated as fast as they could.
We dug in that afternoon and
were eating hot chow, not oxnect-
