...aboard were 370 members of the ist Marine Division-survivors of Tulagi, conquerors of Guadalcanal; the men who mowed down the Japs like hay at Bloody Ridge, and crossed the bloody Matanikau River; the invaders of Cape Gloucester, the rain-drenched fighters of Talasea, the men who took Hill 660 when they should have been annihilated halfway up; the unnamed defenders of Nameless Hill, the survivors of Coffin Corner...

Then metal fragments are removed and wounds dressed under anesthesia on a ten-by-ten-foot operating table covered with rubber. As in the U.S., there is a feed shortage. Instead of hay, the animal patients get. along on a straw substitute. About 60% of the patients go back into action in two weeks. The rest go to a more luxurious convalescent hospital.
