Marine Mike Morra Fences It Out With
Jap Sword Swinger on Eniwetok Atoll
Lessons in Fencing?
1 XTls
i j
PFC Mike Morra of the Marine Barracks tells The Herald and
News reporter a story of action in the South Pacific. Mike
was in tick bay when this picture was taken, but is fine and
dandy now.
He's just a nice kid. The kind
that looks for "Alfred" in Col
liers, reads Perry Mason myster
ies, looks for letters from home
and likes swing bands.
His name is Mike and he hails
from the Bronx.
This isn t unusual.- The thing
that sets PFC Michael Morra
apart from three thousand other
marines at- the barracks is his
one-man fencing act with a
jammed carbine and a short
shirted Jap sword swinger. .;
Record Assault
Mike was a part of the 3rd
battalion of the 22nd marines,
the boys that took 6 hours and 25
minutes to wreck 1100 Japs on
Eniwetok atoll. They set a rec
ord for assault and mopping up.
Ahd they took not over 20 pris
oners. The marines hit Eniwetok on
February 19, securing it the next
morning. About 10 o'clock,
morning of the 20th, the boys
were mopping up on the beach,
throwing grenades in all the
holes they came across. Said
Mike:
"Go Get Him"
"Our sergeant got too close to
a covered foxhole, spread over
with a little planking, sand, and
coconut leaves. A Jap shot him
through the throat. We didn't
know where the firing was com
ing from. The gunnery platoon
sergeant pointed out the hole and
gave me a grenade. He told me
to go get him.
"They covered me. That Jap
was just as surprised to see me
as X was to see him. I yelled,
'He's In there' and threw a gren
ade. Then I got to cover. That
Jap saw the grenade coming it
was a three-second, kills by con
cussion and it helped him out of
the hole. His helmet Was split.
"I saw the Jap coming. Ha
had a s.vord. I was kneeling be
hind a cocoanut tree and he
charged. I held my carbine up
and squeezed one off. He kept
coming, swinging his sabre. I can
still see him. He wore a skivvie
