- ALEUTIANS A hilltop at the
head of . Chkhagof Corridor on
- Attu island overlooked a corridor,
still occupied largely by stubborn
Japanese troops, and was an ex
cellent vantage point from which
to watch the battle progressing on
. high ground at either sidel I had
been using it as such for two days,
t sleeping at night in a sleeping bag.
V The actual front line was two or
" three hundred yards northeast of
" the top of the hill. The top of: the
hill was occupied by a battalion
' command post, field guns, soldiers
" resting, -and medical detachments."
- The two nights I slept badly.
Water had seeped up from the
- soaking moss and had the lower
' half ofthe sleeping bag soggy.
" But It was some four miles back
to the rear command post where a
' typewriter was available. I depid-
ed ..that the walk over ' the ; ridges
' would be the lesser of two evils,
in spite of the fact that I had al
ready made tentative ' arrange
ments to sleep that night- in a
- medical tent about 50 yards from
1 my private fox hole. : - - '
The next morning, some 600
" Japanese made a desperation
counter-attack straight up Chica-
- gof Corridor, making their way
into the battalion command post
& top the hill. Dozens of Americans
were killed as they slept, including'
a soldier whose body still lay an
arm's length from the fox hole I
I had occupied the previous nights.
- The medical tent was punctured'
. with bullet holes, ripped with bay-
onets, surrounded by -dead Japa
nese. "I:.;;:- L;:aT , ' y
" Twelve men had been sleeping
: In that'tent The initial attack had
killed four of them. The remain-
der had fought off the enemy from
4 a.m. until noon. - -
