were buried in a single grave,
because there was no time for bet
ter arrangements.
As the gallant force hacked
through to Koto on its way to the
sea, it linked up with a smaller
band of Marines surrounded for
days by Chinese. Here's how, in
the words of a correspondent, that
little group looked to the larger
force:
"It was a gruesome sight
wounded men with their blood fro
zen to their skins, their clothes
stiff with ice, grotesque dead men
lying across trailers and stretchers,
live men stumbling along, grim
acing from frost bite, using their
rifles as crutches."
Once the long, bumper-to-bumper
column stood almost motionless for
four hours as engineers struggled
to replace a bombed-out hrid"e.
There were similar anguished de
lays as craters in the slippery road
were filled. To go 10 miles on one
part of the escape route required
14 hours.
All the way Chinese Communists
were erecting obstacles ahead of
our weary men, harassing their
flanks, sniping at the column's
rear. The enemy force was es
timated at from three to five times
greater than ours. Yet we exacted
a toll of 10 Chinese for every cas
ually on our side.
When they finally made it down
In the coastal plain, embattled
Marines culd find no energy for
the formalities of "linkup" hand
shakes with jhe U. S. patrols who
met them, nor had they many
smiles for newsreel cameramen
who asked them to "look happy."
They'd seen and experienced too
much.
"We have lost an awful lot of
friends up on that plateau," said
a Marine officer. "Almost every
body up there was a hero. It's
just that some guys are asked
what they did and tell about it,
durance and courage a retre;C
But it is no surprise that the Mar
ines who made that bitter march do
not see it so. "It was no retreat,"
declared a colonel with fierce pride
"It was. an advance to the rear."
What man, hearing of this ordeal,
dares to say it was anything less?

What you pay for a Special buys an

less than many a six will cost.

nny car near its size and at hundreds
of dollars less than you'll pay for
others which match Roadmaster's
reputation.
