Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Link, Vol. 3: Official Organ of the Service Men's Christian League; January, 1945
E place is a command post a mile be front on Saipan. The sun 13 hot - very, hot. The ?ies are so thick that you brush your hand in front of your face constantly to keep them away. The marines sit in a semicircle on the ground, their ri?es at their feet. The chaplain stands in front of them.
It is Wednesday. There were no services Sunday because the regiment had been on the line. Now, for a-few days, they are in reserve.
Many of the marines hold small paper hymnbooks with one hand, instinctively clutch the stock of their ri?es with the other. Last night some Japs tried to work their way into the command post. After a furious blaze of fire, two of them had been killed. Others must have escaped.
