From May to August 1942 Japan built castles
in the sands of the Southwest Pacific. No child's
play, this, Jup sandboxes were loaded with dyna
mite as they set up positions on the Solomons, a
chain of closely-knit islands north of Australia
and east of New Guinea. The Nip-and-Takes pre
pared to use Tulagi, harbor of the Solomons, as
base for an invasion fleet that might threaten
Australia. Across the way from Tulagi, on
Guadalcanal, they built aerial runways for Jap
made birds of prey to hunt our convoys.
But on August 7, 1942, the Jap picnic on the
Solomons was just about over. The Japs didn't
know that then. They didn't expect our Surprise
Package, delivered on their picnic grounds, tied
UP in ribbons of blood. On August 7th, under an
umbrella of gunfire loosed by our giant naval
vessels, American Marines landed on Tulagi and
Guadalcanal. For most of these Marines, fresh
out of training schol, this was their PH.D-DAY of
battle. They found that 1,000 miles of island coast
can be Jap-held hell. That once you established
a beachhead, the show had only just begun. There
was plenty of hard fighting ahead.

There were Jap planes spitting fire and stril.
Jap warships moving in to cut off reinforcements
and supplies. Snipers, strapped in tops of palm
trees. The unseen threat of concealed artilUry
. , . the hand grenades . . . the moving bayonets
. . . the bottled-up Japs hidden in caves, ready to
spring at night. There were swamp and jungle,
malaria and steaming heat.
This was an epic struggle, with every man on
his own. Marines slashed their way inland, fight
ing with tommy guns, knives, bayonets, bale
hands. After 48 heroic, life-giving, death-dealing
hours, the island positions were ours.
But even then the smoke of battle died not
clear. The Japs returned again and aKain to bomb
the Guadalcanal airfield. In the dead of ni;hl
their battleships came back and back aeaiii to
attack our instalaltions. Day by day we cleaned
the island out and by night the Japs crept lak.
Not 'til six months later . . . February, l!M:i . . .
could we say the Solomons wore ouis for keeps.
By February the strangle-wcb of the Japs in the
Pacific had been broken. We had the airfield
and the islands. We wore on our way with the
first Bpan of island stepping stones to the iveon
qucst of the Philippines.
