Part of the following excerpt reads: “On the left of the line, the 2d Battalion of the 128th had taken over the sector vacated by the 1st Battalion, and was now responsible for a frontage of almost three and a half miles.” My father was part of that line, indicated on the map below by the designation F/128. According to the text F Company had an easier time of it than E and G Companies, but I’ll bet it was a long night all along the Driniumor - HJS.

From Nimitz diary: "McCall (DD400) rescued from GUAM Chief Radioman G.R. Tweed who had been on the island since 1939."

He had been hiding out since Dec. 1941? Sounds like a good story.
