The Japanese would make regular runs down "The Slot" at night to bombard the Marines and Henderson field. They made life pretty miserable for the Marines.

Thank God for Marine leaders like Carlson, Edson and Puller.

They knew jungle fighting from the “Banana Wars”.

Since there was a shortage of barbed wire, they strung out shell fragments on wire to use as a listening device.

Question; Have you ever read Manchesters book “Goodbye Darkness”?
