phlblous operations in 34 days,
the 41st has established a record
uncqualed in World War II
Ma j., Gen. Jens A. Doe's th'ree-year-overseas
veterans of six
southwest Pacific battles were
whistled up into the Philippines
when time chimed to strike
those islands which are largely
mazes of jungled undergrowth.
The first of the series of
lightning lunges was arrowed at
Palawan, westernmost isle of
the Philippines and its most
strategic reach.
Doe dispatched one of his
crack combat teams under Brig.
Gen. Harold Haney. The strike
on February 28 rocked the Jap
anese by surprise and the island
was conquered,
A second punch was the in
itial invasion of Mindanao
Landing in the teeth of the de
termined opposition, the 41st
staved in stout enemy defenses
and new-broomed the Zamboan
ga Peninsula.
Accelerating the pace, an ele
ment of the division hit Basilan
Island March 16, in three days
completely secured it.
This 1945 series of scythe
strokes through Japan's thefted
domain bests the record set last
year by the division. Then,
within a span of 36 days the
41st broke the two-year-held
Nip grip on New Guinea
In that series of strides up
900 miles of Guinea's tangled
jungle, the 41st, between April
22 and May 27 smote and
sprawled the foe at Aitape, Hol
landia, Wakde and Biak.
