Are you curious about the weapons and tactics employed by both the U.S. and Japanese troops? In this book, you will learn: What a Ni mortar is and how it broke many a GI's leg. - Which Springfield rifle troops carried into battle. - What a Reising submachinegun was. - How hand grenades were used to best effect? - How many rounds of ammunition GIs carried on bandoliers on patrol? This notebook is a compilation of interviews conducted with US Marines and Army infantry who fought the Imperial Japanese Army on the island of Guadalcanal.

Poor leaders get the men killed." - "Get used to weird noises at night." - "Practice walking quietly over rocks, twigs, grass, leaves, through vines." - "When you come to an opening in the jungle, run across it quickly and quietly." - "Do not waste ammunition. make every shot count." Walk in the footsteps of battle-hardened U.S. Army soldiers and Marines as they walk patrol down jungle paths. Sling a Springfield 03 rifle over your shoulder and draw a basic load of ammunition.
