* BOOT CAMP

The majority of us askcJ for this .~ervicc. Tn the fall of 1942 and dur­ing the following winter we enlisted at our recruiting stat ions. Many of us had jobs contributing to the war effort and deferred classifications with our draft boards. Not a few were over age, a large proportion married. We chose the Seabees because we felt this branch of the service would give each of us the best opportunity to i1se our skills in line of duty.

None of us wanted the war, but it had to be won. We had a stake in the victory, and so we enlisted.

Jn March of 1943 they began to call us. By the middle of the month most of us had traveled, from every state in the union, to Williamsburg, Virginia. At Camp Peary we were placed in barracks and subjected to many indignities. Naked, we were stamped with numbers, sent our fa­miliar clothes home, and put on dungarees. \ve found ouc that a shot-in the Navy-goes in the arm, not the mouth. We arose in the dark and went forth into the Arctic chill of Virginia to do push-ups before breakfast. We learned discipline, and the Manual of Arms.

"Boots, boots, marching up and down again!" We tramped by the hour and learned Infantry Drill the painful way, stood guard duty, caught K.P. Some of us went to school and studied fi rst aid, tank erection, small arms, or the «magic box of the Seabee'>"-pontoons.

But mainly what we established was the comradeship of the barracks, the warm friendly refuge of our substitute for home-a retreat among our kind against the continual demands of Authority.

Habits became as uniform as our clothes and boot haircuts. Freedom to act as individuals went out the window, replaced by a common response to orders. The platoon, n ot the man, became the unit. In the disciplined life the unit must be a predictable source of capable and interacting man­power.

Late in April came the long-awaited burst of freedom. We were given Boot Leave, 62 hours to visit home, if it were within reach; and if not, Richmond, Washington, New York. \Ve were in Navy uniform and at

large. Not sailors, but Seabees. The public hardly knew che difference-­then.

Returning, we packed and moved to the B-6 area, where for the first time the men of the 7 4ch were placed cogether all at once. We met our officers and chiefs. On 4 ~fay 1943, for each of us an lustoric moment, the 74th Construction Battalion was officially formed and commissioned.

ADVANCED TRAINING Arriving at Camp Endicott, Davisville, Rhode Island, on 5 May, we

plunged into new routines. The company structures outlined at Camp Peary were coordinated and have remained much the same ever since. \Vhilc some friendships carried over from Root Camp, most were born in C area, Camp Endicott, in those two-deckers with the oiled floors. Many of these rclacionshipc; will la.\L into civilian life.

I Icre we first tac;ted the delight~ of regular liberty, made Boston or New York on a 3 6, and otherwi5e took our evenin.E;S in Providence as they came, at whatever pleasure we dec;ired.

1\ t the first dress parade we held, the battalion colors were presented by the Camp Commander~ the ceremony was short and impresc;ive. Later, a review and inspection was ordered for the visit o( the Rntish Ambassador and his party. Again the 74th turned out in good military form.

Technical training continued. We learned new ~kil l s or practised old ones, all designed to make w, more useful in the work of a battalion in the field. \Ve learned to handle the L. S. Carbine, to dry-fire it, to take down and asmnble its parts, and :it Sun Valley to shoot it. Bull's-eyes and .. Mag­gie\ drawers" foretold our abilities here. \~re were the first battalion to use the t.arbme for our marksmanship record on the range.

There were other records. The commando course, that gauge of age or lum(''i'i, c.:hallenged everyone to prodigious effort. (Who knows i( that one still stands?) Extended order brought us contact with Nature in the rough and with the teachings of \farinec; and the Marine Handbook. For com­plexity, Charlie Chaplin's foldin~ chair had nothing on the regula[ion field pack. We variously absorbed the. mtncacies of Judo, machete handling, h1SC) field fortifications, more first aid, and rcpLat dmc1; of military courtc,y.

A battalion paper, the lkl' Hive, was founded and produced at first on a bi weekly basis; since that time it hac; bloomed as the work permitted. Its cnlumm have been open to everyone, as a publication "by and for the men." It has always been cleared for nlailing home, to provide a regular news channel and a link.

At f ndicott we learm:d the personalities of our officers and chicf.c;; we knew which ones to ask for a 'ipecial liberty. And we found out about one anocher-who was the goldbr:cker and who the drudge, the apple polisher, the "key man." Ilere the fir,t ratings were announced , belated aclrnowl­edgments of some recruirers' promises.

May :md June pa-.sed quickly, and we took shape as a boy grows out of adolescence. This was a formative period, yet already we had a degree of marnrity and privilege. There was beer, movies, Sundays off . .But what

were great drawing cards. Grasping time by the fore lock, not a few of u-. brought wives and families to nearby towns, extending a tenuous sort of home life.

Again we had militar)' training, hikes, an ovcrnighL bivouac, rit1e range practice, a commando course, and "new" methods under Marine super­vision. On 2 8 Augusl 1943 a review was ordered and Acorn 14 commis­sioned amid ceremony. The Acorn and Battalion Commanders read their orders. \Ve moved from Camp Rousseau to the adjoining Acorn Training Area, Splinter City. Our Bee I live, supprc<;sed at Rous5eau by station order "to save paper," was revived and reclu·istened "The Leading Fdge," a name it retained for the next two issues.

Splinter City marked a great change. Our training was virtually ended, our real work begun. The balance of our supplies and equipment became available and we assembled iL for loading. As items were palletized we stored them in LST warehouses, each the size and shape of an LST tank deck. Thousands of drums of gasoline were strapped rigidly on pallets and set aside in rcadine.c;.<;.

Now many of us learned about the invasion vessel we would be using­frnm the old "green dragon," baptismal craft that so many battalions of our vintage practised on. The Taking of Poinl Mugu was a classic of in­vasion theory and a mighty jumble of experimentation and applied effort, with escaping pontoons, dunked officers, man-killing labor, and bawling confusion. But records were broken again, somehow~ we made discoveries, and we earned the praise of our commanders.

On 24 September, with our equipment loaded on LSTs, Lhc first wave embarked and we headed into a murky Pacific dusk. The remainder sailed in groups during the next two weeks. From here on, we were overseas veterans.

PEARL HARBOR After the hurley-burley of Splinlcr City, ten da~·s at sea was like a rest

cure. The first night out, on the LSTs, was somewhat rough; many a land­luhher went. through mi11ery that night. Bur in a day or two, all but a few had established sea legs. We stood gun watch, head duly, and K. P. Nearly everyone was busy during the days, yet there was no real pressure. Most men thought we would go to Pearl Jiarhor for a '>hurt stay, but there were many opinions as to our destination after that one.

The LSTs put into that beautiful and historic port on 4 October, where less than two years ago many of the capiLal ships of our Navy had bt!en 5ent to the bottom in the sneak attack. Here had occurred the event on account of which all of us were serving in the Scabcc.,, and vivid evi­dence lay before our eyes-the hulk of the Oklahoma, then being raised from the harbor mud. \X'e or the 74th felt at fa.,t in the thick of things, no longer sitting on the sidelines. We had become participants.

Assigned to a relatively undeveloped area, we were quartered wid1 Lhe station force and at a rifle range. \'(/ e unloaded our supplies and equipment

and stacked them in a dump reclaimed from the boondocks by our own bulldo1.ers. \'\!c built roads, blasted trenches in ,oJiJ rock for water lines. and starred the first barracks and warehouses of what was to become a tar­tlung ell}.

Our draftsmen were busy with Acorn and Il,tttalion officers mapping ·~lands Jnd enemy fortilic:itions. Reconnaissance photos were stuc.li<·d. ~calc.: model:- \H:rc built. The name and location of thi., ohjen 1\.e, known to a very few, was a tighcly guarded secret.

Il) the 29th of the month the LSTs assigned co our fir~L echelon had been loaded with priority materiel. 'I he J .. ;t of men LO go was chosen. revised, and trimmed; the hnal .,clectce'> went aboard. Few who went would have I radcd place~ v. ith anyone who was left ashore. On chc morning of the 30th this echelon puc out to sea in the companr of a great invasion fleet • containing \'C~'ch of every description.

Two weeks later a second group embarked, taking with them additional quantities of equipment and 'upplies, on cargo ships. On 2 December the remaining men went aboard a freighter and sailed the following day.

Thus the entire battalion, in three wa vcs, Lnok passage for Tarawa.

INVASION The convoy with the T STs lav over at Puna Fu ti in the Ellice hlands for

'icvcral days. On the night of 13 November, "Sewing-Mt1ch1ne Charlie" came over (presumably from Tarawa) and dropped a number of bombs near the air stnp. t-or our men this wac; the first taste of danger-t hc1r fir~t partic1pal1on in an Act of \'(,'ar. Some thought it would bring them a com­bJt star for their theatre ribbon, hm they were wrong.

l\<; all Ll1c world remembers, the Marines went in on Rcllo 20 :--.iovember 1943. Two of our LSTs l'nteretl the Lagoon that afternoon to discharge their deck-loaded I <: f:-.. TL was not until th:·ee days later 1 ltat tlte island wa' declared secured; Tuesday nfternoon, the 23rd, uur men began unload­ing the LSTs at the cc.lg~ or the r~cf. and some stood guard duty ~1,horc that night.

At this poin l it is appropriate lo relate some of the difficulties chat faced the battalion personnel. It must be kept in mind that Betio, :in i.,lanJ of only 285 acres, was a mass of rui11'i and strewn with unburied dead. 1\ot a 'mgle tree remained undamaged and most of the palms were bche:ided. Huge piles ot partly burned .m<l dcca} ing food lay where the J.1ps had maintained 'up ply <lumps. Flic'i and mosquitoes multipl.ed in inconceivable quantity and infested the entire isbnd area. LiYc .Japs remained in hiding for some days and constirute<l, e<;penally at night, a menace lo secur ity. Furthermore:, many of u' were aware nf our exposed position in the Pacific. Tarawa had been the curtain raiser of the Central Pacific c.1mpaign and was within easy flying distance of 'uch cncmr-hcld bastions as ·:--huru, Kusaie, and the Mar,hall hland fields of Jaluit, Jlilille, and Maloelap. It 'ccmcd possible that eYen a concerted assault by the .Japanese Aect might take place; or failing that, <l o;ubm:irinc aLLack hr night.

Most of the American and enemy dead were properly buried by the end of the second week and sufficient area dcart'd or debris to speed die con­struction of an air ba.,c. Rut another threat to our safety and peace of mind '>upplantcd chat of the Jap snipers, almost as soon as they had been dealt with. On 3 December just as dmk a group oi cncm) bomber, flew mer .Betio and dropped their bomb patterns squarely on the runway area. from that date through 17 January, raids occurred every cwo or thre1.: nights, sometimes on successive nigh1 .... On 2.l-24 December, four separate raids occurred and no one slept for more than an hour or two.'~ Besides these

actual raids there were m:my ialw alarms, an even greater number; c;o that hanlly a night went by during that period when we enjoyed an uninter­rupted rest.

The intensive phase of the battalion's work h~tcd until <;omewhat alter the period of bombmgs. During this time all men worked twelve hours a day, seven days a week. Christma'> an<l ..\lew Y c:irs <lay were no exceptions. Night crews were more forlun:tlc than those on during the day, for the ra1<l<> and alert~ came mainly when they were at work. Day men lost their sleep, however.

Battalion Morale was maintained at a good level considering Ll1c danger.'\ and burdcm 0r1 i r c, the absence of any recreational facilities, and the depri­vations we underwent. Lack of sleep was probabl)' hardest to take. Food began with K-rat1om. :mcJ progrco;sed very slowly toward the level of good Navy diet. Quarters gradually improved-from fowoles to shacks, the lucky ones provided with tarpaulins but others cm:ercd with galva111zed, corrugated iron, most of the sections being riddled. Sudden, violent showers inundated these shanties and flooded under the Len L1> that replaced them. But finally we had ordered tent areas with platforms and screening which were both weatherproof and secure from insects.

Clothes would not wac;h clean in <;alt or brackish water, even with speci.il soap, and tune for washing had to be squeezed somehow from a schedule

MAPPING AND SURVEYING Our surveying parties necessarily preceded the construction gangs in

every phase of our operations. They laid out the work co be done and mapped the p1·ogress of the jobs.()( ten these parties worked under the most crying conditions, especially at the sta rt where hazards remaining from the battle lay in the path of the landing strip extcn:-.ion.

When the airfield and taxiways had been surveyed, a party wenr co map the nearby island-; and locate installations on them. Ocher groups located .rnd set guides for camp areas, gun positions, warchuu-.es, and every type of construction to be undertaken. Detailed maps were made of Betio, .Bairiki, and Eita.': These involved the hardest sort ot labor and privations,

Here che men lived in the shelter of an abandoned native hut, sleeping on the ground and sharing provisions wit'h a Marine unit. f<evcr <;truck down all but two of thi1' party before the sur­vey had been completed.

Coral placed on the air strip, taxiways, and hardstands averaged a 12-inch depth; over three million .o;quare feet of area was covered. Road building involved the surfacing of more than hal r a million square { eet ad­ditionally, and other surfaced an:as brought the total to better than four million. Th{! actual haulage was estimated at about l 50,000 cubic yards :rnd was handled both by truck and by carryall. Must hauls were less than a mile, though only a few locatiom on the reef provided a suitable source.

Three-quarters of this job was on a twenty-four-hour basis. Survey crews established grades and limits, checked the completed work, and pro­vided data for draf L~rnen, who day by da}' made up the job progress maps. Photographs of all phases nf Lhc work were made, many of which have been included in Lim story. l)hotognphic coverage involved subject matter of much human interest, in addition to the work itself.

HEAVY EQUIP.MENT The first thing ashore, a.<; in any Seabee operation, w:u. the bulldozer; and

1ts first job was to blade up enough coral to make a ramp on which ocher rolling stock could move from ship to reef. Prom d 1is point on, our heavy equipment went into almost continuous action.

crete mixers; a well driller\ a diLcher; 5 portable air compressor~; 4 portable wcldmg machines, etc.

With these items we could accmnplish in weeks what the Japs-who hnd liLtlc or none of such equipment-would have taken months or even years to turn out by hand. For 1nst;mcc, a carryall holding sixteen yards might move as much coral as three hundred laborer), with wheelbarrows, and replace many pick and <;hovel men by scraping it up in one operation. Ordi ­narily, with three shifts, three operator:; and one carryall would dn the work of al least a thousand coolies. A large bulldozer wou Id, in a few quick passes, get rid of tree~. liLUmps, rubbish, or earthworks that otherwise would require the alI-day efforts of a sizable group of men.

This heavy equipment meant more than a saving of human effort, how­ever. Its greatest value was m saving time, for every minute counted des­perately. The need to capture Betio was the need for an airfield in that part of the Pacific. Ilel!o had the nucleus of such a field in Lhc existing J ap air strip, which had been purposely spared as much as possibfo during the bombardmcnl and assault. But it was not long enough for our heavy bombers.

The number one priority job, therefore, was the completion by our men of this prnj.:cu:d landing strip. All other Seabee wnrk was su bordinate. It rook our bulldozers a scant fi (teen hours to fill and grade Lhc liules in this strip so fighter planes could land. The work of extending the length on the west began immediately thereafter.

Betio was to serve as an unsinkable carrier, the strip its flight Jeck. Bull­dozer operators set about leveling the ground in preparation for surfacing. The terrain was a mas1! of tank traps, fuel and ammuniLion dumps, and burrows; its whole surface was doued with tree stumps and hillock·;, deeply trenched passageways, and scattered wreckage. The stumps had to be rooted out and h auled away, the ground fi lled in. All fill was p uddled. The coral surfacing was brought by carryall and truck, leveled by graders, watered, and rolled. Tn 24 days the job was completed su fliciencly for B24s (Liberators) t o land. This was eighteen days ahead of schedule.

B}' this time the concrete with which the Japanese had surfaced their old flight strip had deterioratt!d under the weight of our heavier planes to a point where entire resurfacing was necessary. Gi-aders equipped w ith scarifiers tore up one-half of the area, the other half remaining in use. foresh coral was laid in place of the concrete. When one side was fin ishcd, the other wa<> begun. Then taxiways and new hardstands Wt!re undertaken .

The credit for :i tine record must be shared between the operators and the maintenance men, for with the equipment working the clock around, each piece had to be 1 ubricatt!d and fueled in the :field; oncl:! a day it was thoroughly greased and oiled. Differentials, transmissions, transfer case:;, crank cases, and all sorL'i of bearings-all moving pan<> received attention. Such units as were working the tides, exposed therefore co Lhc corrosive effect of salt water, were gone over at lease twice every day. Every opera­tor was assigned an oiler w maintain his unit. Thus breakdowns were minimized.

Some <lamagc rc~ulted from enemy action, howevcL Road grader tires were sprayed with shrapnel in a bombing raid. A tractor was blown to biti; by a land mine on the reef, che operacor being saved by Im di~cretion; sus­pecting the presence of mines, he put the machine in low gear and follu\ved it 'iomc distance behind. During a raid one tractor opcr.1U>r hicched his unit to a plane and dragged 1t f rum the proximity of burning gasoline drums. There wru. always risk in these raids, for a man might be working at some distance from <;helter and by the ti.me he had secured '"' machine the bombers could be almost overhead; or if working b) himself the noi!>e of his engine might drown out the sound of Lhe siren and ht' might not even realize an alert war; on.

On 26 November, while clearing ground for the HrH Seabce galley, a

tractor operator flushed a J ap from beneath fallen palms and mhcr debris; the .Jap fled and was attended Lo by Marines. ln mid-December one of the men was shot at and 11arrowly missed; a dozer operator working nearby was comman<lecrcd to level the dugout from which the shoL had appar­ently been fired. W'hen he completed his pass, fresh blood was found on his do1er blade.

Besides operators anJ oi lers in the field, cwo crews of maintenance men worked in shops set up to repair equipment. Soon after landing we took over some well-worn equipment from a Marine contingent, and this de­manded thorough oYerhauling. A temporary shop, which served until the lwo permanent ones were finished, had been rigged up by the mechanics themselves. I !ere the Marine equipment was put in shape. The permanent shops contained all necessary tools and acce~sories for large repairs. Port­able welding machines, hydraulic presses, mobile air cornprt''i\Orl>, electric and acetylene generators, drills, and grinders were among the items at hand. A parts room Hocked essential replacements.

Twent)'-three 600-gallon trucks came ashore with u-;, and these went all over the island daily as needed, fil ling the hundreds of fast-draining gasoline or diesel fuel tanks on motorized equipment. Chiefs and a di;­patcher went from job to job 111ai11taining production :ind shifting units wherever need occurred. The demand was heavy, yet every importanl as­signment was handled on schedule, or sooner.

TRANSPORTATION Mo~t of tht! battalion's trucks and similar vehicles reached nctio loaded

on the LSTs and cargo ships of the fir'it and second waves. They were un­loaded as quickly as possible and put into operation. Altog<.ther, with the Acorn's equipmenL, there were about 300 units of all types, of which the battalion took over the operation of 65 jeeps, 4 seeps, 3 6 dumps, 3 5 cargoes, and a few cargo carryalls. Later additional vehicles were taken over from Marine Corps groups leaving the island.

Two garages were set up at opposite ends of the air strip to speed re­pairs and overhaul. These shops worked day and night, :.even days a. week. The only interruptions were those caused by enemy air attack or alerts that foiled to develop. Every piece of transport equipment on Bctio was serv-

iced, and if need be repaired, in these two garages. Two men working in the tire shup made Jll tire and tube repairs during the rehabilication of 1 lic i'iland.

During the lir)lt "'eeks especiall}, the abuse of equipment was unavoid­ahl<. and the wear and tear r:tn hi,;h. Trucks op<.'r.tted huh-Jeep 111 salt water, which attacked their working parto;. The cargoes worked the reef whenever the udc lcYcl permitted, to unload supplies and material, tlut came a'\hore in an unending stream. The dumps worked around the clock hauling fresh coral fill and wrfacing for the st1 ip; dripping loads that carried water and '.'lilt: into every crevice of the machinery.

Repairs were often miracles of impro" isatmn, for spare parts were almost non-existent. fhe maintaining units, such as grease trucks, refuclers, recom, weapon carriers, bomb service trucks, el~., fared better; but all were in constant service.

With night and day shifts each twelve hours long, there were some ninety Scabcc drivers on the muster, plus others from the Acorn. Added to these, the maintenance men brought the total working for Transportation to about 160. This number was reduced somewhat hy the end of January when the great pressure we worked under subsided to a degree; and the various shop~ then had opportunity to undertake major overhauls and post­ponable jobs. All vehicles had been kept in running order, and when we left Betio every piece not actually destroyed by bombs was operational.

'fo offset the bomb damage, parts from <>crapped equipment were sal­vaged and built up; jap rolling stock was repaired and puc intu ~ervicc. In the end we hat! some right-hand drive trucks and passenger cars, plus half a <lo7en motorcycles wirh delivery bodies, all working for m and be­queathed by the i-.hnd's late occupants. \Ve made <ipnnklers out of patched-up Jap refuelers, and others from cargoes with pontoons mounted on them, and perforated pipe astern.

Two crews kept the equipmem lubricated. They worked in grea'c piL~ of their own construction which al~o served as foxholes during night alerts. Jeeps were grc:t.,cd once a week and trucks a' ncc<l<'d, with special artcn­tion Lo those that worked in water. Shop records were kept meLiculously, parts were rationed from lun.ited replacement \Locks, :ind one dispatcher handled all the demands for our truck., anJ jeeps as priority of reqm".;t indi­cated, throughout the day. A night dispatched relieved him, and CPOs kept the trucks under the shovel moving. It wa'i a busy detail and in spite of comlant demand for tran,porL all bona fide needs were cvenlually filled .

UNLOADING AND SUPPLY Stevedore work can be expedited where there are deep-water ducks,

warehouses, and modern labor .. aving devices. But at Tarawa all ships ex­cept LSTs had to remain far out in che lagoon and their contents brought ashore in light draft boats or on barges. LSTs and LCTs could fetch to che cd~e of the reef, but unloading was practicable there only at the low stages

of the tide.

much of the rime we were at Tarawa; their JOb was to rush the cargoe'> from bold, lo whatever )ightcnn~ vessels lay along'>idc. T hese might be LCVPs, LC1vfs, LCTs, or cven LSTs; pontoon barges were also used. It was hard, continuous work but was millgated by stable, relatively lngh living \Landards. Food, drinking water (cooled ) , and quarters were good, and unrestricted.

At the other end of the 'upply lme thin.~s were quite different. The tides con trolled working hours ashore, and living conditions were catch-as­catch-can. On the reef edge it wa.c. 8ix hours on and six off, for half the time the water WJS too deep for trucks and cranes to work in. Sunilarly, at the ba'e of the dock, half thc Lime the water wa" Loo shallow for rank lighter.c. to negotiate thc tricky channel. So they worked che dock at high tide, the reef ar low.

W'hen chc tic.II:! was at mid stage the cranes walked out r rum the dock to the reef, if it were ebbing-walked in if it were flowing. In the night time especially, w ith floodlights gleaming from their peaks, they re~cmblcd huge waddling prehistoric monster<>.

The work required c'pert stevedore knowledge, yet not many of the men had rigging experience; they learned fast. They caught meal, and sleep in between times and dodgcc.I in to the nearest shelter<> when the sirens wailed. One shelter wa.' d former Jap machine gun nest covering the nld dock at its ba\c~ here the crews often took refuge. One night a bomb ex­plosion dcmolished it, but fortunately none ot the men was in it at rhe rime.

Boal crews noticing the Lum of the tide would implore the u nloac..ling crews co hurry. cajoling them and even offering bribes. ror if they were not unlo.idcd and able to scramble away in time they migh t be stranded and exposed to a n ight r.11d w ithout power to move; these boat crew~ were required to remain with their era f c, regardless, and little ,helter could be had on them from any e,plusion . The likelihood of a near miss was alway" hi~her inshore.

With certain difficult cargoes, as cement in paper bags, native labor wa.~ a"signed to hdp t he regular crews. This was dirty, back-brea king work ; slings and n-·L<; tended to bn.ak open the lO\\ t•rmmt bags and spill cemenr on swc 1nng bodies. Rombs and gasolint: v. ere easier, bur handling rhcm had p<>ychologKal disadvanrnges. Sometimes food or bcvcrJ.ges mysteriously developed breakage, and a tariff was exacted that no one begrudged.

T he most difficult freight was radio equ ipment, which came clumsy, heavy, and dc~pcrately fragile. \\"jth minimum facil ities for handling the larger ca,c'i, the practice was co use two cranes, for the boom' had to be well lowered to reach out, and fiye or six com at that angle would be too ni.uch for JUSt one. The te.llllWOrk or the crane operaton was magnificent to watch as rhcr acted togcth"r, delicately shif t mg a load and booming up wit h great caution until finally t hey had il high enough for one to take t he fu ll weight.

to their proper dumps. In Lhe first days on Betio this w1loadi.11g work had top priority. The supply men worked 12-hour shifts or longer, segregating and scoring the truckloach of P 1 material. After an area had been cleared of the usual bodies and debris, a 50-foot tent was c.>rected to protect perish­ables and the first supply dumps \vere designated. AL this stage the entire island personnel drew their G. I. equipment from this source.

five natives assisted our four-man derail and proved to be capable, will­ing workers; but their habit of standing al attention and saluting every passe1·by had to be discouraged. I Iandling beer was this department's big­gest headache-but not in the literal sense.

COMMUNICATIONS Thirty minutes after the locations were selected for the Command Post

and the lhttalion Conunander's headquarters, telephone service was estab­lished between them. This line was strung between the old chapel, our headquarters, and the open-air structure which first served as a Command Post, some 300 feet away.

A Marine Corps switchboard was secured and set up in the communi­cations tent, and this served as an exchange until the more permanent quarters were available in the big blockhouse near Co. R area. The next lines were strung to the operation'> tent along the lauding strip; then the three radio trucks were connected to the exchange. During this latter oper­ation snipers concealed in a dugout opened fire on the communications headquarters. This called for some action by Marines and Seabees; charges of TNT, hand grenades, and a bulldozer brought the excitement to :in end wiLhin an hour, and work was resumed. ::\firaculously no one was hurt but the Japs.

\Vithin a few days all the principal points on the island were hooked into the exchange. We took over a system which the :\1arines had laid out; but a bombing raid dcsLroycJ many of the trunk lines before the m~n could acquainL themselves with all of them. How'•ver, before the all-clear sounded, our men had traced eacli line, m'.lde the necessary repairs, and restored normal service to the gun battt:' rics, srotting centers, and Com­mand Posts.

The first lines were strung between shattered palms, up whicli the men shinnied with difficulty and discomfort. Since all lines were above ground, they were vulnerable to o;hrapnel throughout their lengths. Every night that Betio was bombed our communications were knocked out; but in most case~ repairs were made before the all-clear. Underground cable was finally laid, and trou hie-shooting became easier.

The original Marine Corps switchboard which served so well al first was replaced soon by a more commodious installation consisting of two 5 0-drop boards co which some ninety phones were connected. Calls, which averaged 1400-1600 per day, were handled by a crew of operators around the clock.

Our men also laid the fir.\t underwater cable, to the flagship in the har­bor, and relaid the original marine cable to Bairiki and Buota which had

Lt ha'> been conclusively <lemonstraLed that a lineman with the most modern climbing devices is no match for a nimble, tough-footed native boy. We know, because we tried it. ln an actual conL~t the native boy reached the top, gathered twelve cocoanuL'\, and descended before our champ had progressed half way.

POWER AND LIGHT The first American generators on Betio were three portable lighting

units which served ro illuminate the unloading opcrationc; at various pomt'>. The .'iervicing of these units at night was somewhat risky because we could not always avoid disclosing the generator's position to enemy snipers, or­even more hazardous-to already jittery men of our own battalion.

The first repair job consisted of overhauling without any proper tools a captured I KW generator. Not long before chis unit was put in service a 50 KW generator was landed and set up b:.:hind the Command Post, shelrered by a log rcvclmenL. The power it provided served the Command Post, control tower, radio, and signal lights until the first air raid, when the generator was knocked out by a bomh. However, service was resumed two hours later.

A second generator, of 75 K\o/, was badly damaged in unloading but we set it up next Lo the carpenter shop and made a new control panel out of J ap parts. This unit also served rhe mess hall and several shops, warehouses, and tent offices.

Considerable evidence was noted in the Jap powerhou<;es or damage done co their own equ ipment, apparcndy when they realized they might not hold the island. I ligh voltage insulators were broken off; instrnments, dial~, and meters were smashed; and all adjusting valves, etc., on their diesel engines were damaged LO <;uch an extent that major overhauls and part.s replacements would have been necessary to make them operable. Tnasmuch as these prime movers were or an early and clumsy design, and as we had sufficicnL power sources of our own, chis was noc attempted.

Tnstallation and repair work was particularly difficult during the early stages of the game due to lack or proper tools and parts. Many improvisa­tions were resorted to. The main power plants on Betio were five large Caterpillar units; these provided for all our current needs except those of the searchl ight and gun-pointing devices, which carried their own indi­vidual generators.

The Japs had placed their main plant in a blockhouse in the hcadquarlers area. We subsequently cleaned this out and used it for an operating room and shelter for sick bay patients. The task of dismantling machinery and switch panels fell to our power and lighL crews, who were able to salvage much useful material. Booby traps had been discovered and it was Lheir

first job to remove these with the a~istance of the regular Lomb-disposal men. Ocher risks were incurred in digging posl holes, a process that un­covered land mines and unexploded shells.

The setup on Bairiki consisted of two rn K\V and Lhree 15 KW' genera­tors, providing power for a radio ~talion, communications, and a camp :m~a. The seven-man electrrci,m's derail not only built the radio stacion itself, but alcm imtaUed and maintained the equipment within it.

A story is told of one electrician who wac; greatly annoyed by an air raiJ

alarm that interrupted his sleep. He placed a beer bottle on a r.tump, shook his fist in the direction from which the plancc; were c"pected, and shouted "Now, you dirt}' so-and-so's, let's sec you hit that!" When the raid was

over and he crawled from his foxhole, he found the bottle intact; but his tent a few yard~ off had been completely demolished.

SANITATION While the air strip was the most urgent project on Iletiu, it was equally

important that the men's health be maintained and their working efficiency kept unimpaired. The greatest menace, when enemy opposition ceased, lay in the scattered dead. Along the beaches and inside the Japanese fortifica­tions, hal (hide.Jen under piles of brush or half buried in craters and dugouts, the bodies were encountered cveq,where. Marine and Jap were often found so close together that one might believe they died simultaneously [n hand­to-hand struggle.

The danger increased with the p.issage of each sweltering da}. The Ma­rine dead were left undi-,wrbed until their Chaplain could identify them

and record the locatiom. of burial; there were 1n three large cemeteries,

many smaller onec;, and a few solitary graves at more remote points. The

Japanese dead were buried in s11ell craters and other hanc.ly excavations as

rapidly a-; the dcLails assigned to chis work could accornpfuh their task.

Groupl! of Gilbertese natives formerly resident on Hetio bur sent away by

tlie Jap~ before the battle were brought back and pressed into this service.

They were paid at a rate specified by the British Commissioner and worked

under our supervision. Seabees found unassigned or not busy at their proper

work were promptly added to these burial crews. ln a week's time most of

the enemy dead lying in the open were put underground. The larger dug­

oulS and pillboxes which did not constitute such immediate threats to gen­

eral health were sealed until a time when the crew~ might get around to

them and do an effective cleaning job on each.

From t.he time we arrived on Betio and for some weeks afterward,

fljec; and mosquitoes bred in countless number~ and molested the personnel

unceasingly. Who does not recall the frantic waving of hands over mess

gear to discourage the insects? The thought of breeding places in the enem}'

One Jap prisoner was treated with iodine from this source and readily submitted Lo Lreatmcnt whe';; shown the label in hi'> own language.

The dental office was set up in another tent al thic; Lime and handlt:d all ca.'c' requiring immediate treatment. Late in the second month the hospital area was moxed next to a former Jap generator room encloscJ in thick, heavily reinforced concrete, which was used as an air raid shelter during the bombings. The hospital itself consisted of two rn by 16 buildings, a Quonset hut, and two 16 by 16 tents.

Occupational accidents were ve1·y few; the men worked with care and used safcqr precautions. Surgery was performed in the convcrteJ gcneralor room fc.a an alert in term pt the progress of an operation. This shelter was used on many occasions both as a surgery and as a safe retreat for patients, statf, and mhcr pcnonnd living at hand.

CAMP CONSTRUCTION

One of Lhe brge~L and bu .. iest divisions of battalion work was Camp Construction. The men in this category were divided into many details, each under a CPO or firsL clasc; PcLty Officer. Carpenter, mcLaJ:..mitl1, and plumbing shops and tool rooms came under this division.

The job of building living quarters and making life in them more com fortable was endless. The drafting room provided general and detailed drawings, the .rnpply dumps malerials. These were localed and assembled at the site and the crews went to work. Sometimes changes in plans or priorities hampered the completion of a job but in the end Betio became an orderly network of imtallatiom.

The fint quaners made livable was the shell-torn chapel which became the Conunander's home and office. Around this building tent" wen~ set up for ocher officers, the sick bay and dental clinic, postofiice, tool room, etc. But this was a temporary area only, and work began shortly on the future Co. A camp further west. Here were built tenl platformc;, he.1J~, a water tower, shower baths, work shops, storage buildings, and a galley.

Then our permanent headquarters and Co. B area were located and a similar but larger camp crcctecl. this site had been the center of :tcLiviLy during the Japanese occupation for we found the remnants of a Shinto temple as well as the remains of tank, artillery, and communication facil i-

enemy dead and ref use of all sorts; but as soon as possible the .stills were connected to the shallow Jap well~ which we uncovered everywhere. The

water in them was brackish and unfit for any use until processed. Finally deep wells were drilled to furnish an abundance of salt water, which the stills were designed for, and from which a J?Otable product was obtained.

During the first weeks of bbor, the water purification men ate and slept beside their machines and due to their vigilance an ample supply of water was available from the beginning. The medical department tested our

water supply daily and saw that the chlorine content was always up to standard, the bacteria count kept low.

Conservation rule~ were in force from the start and governed the use of fresh water. While there was never enough to waste, most legitimate needs were amply filled as soon as the system was in full swing, and thereafter.

REFRIGERATION

By the third day following arrival, the refrigeration department had

moved a freezing truck to the galley area and had cold beverages available

there. From this time on, reefers were installed as fast as they could be

brought ashore. \'\!hen our second galley was ready for use refrigeration

ceased to be a problem and cold drinking water was on tap for everyone.

AL the ship's store a small unit kept the candy fresh, for this commodity

wac; about the most popular item sold and otherwise turned into sticky

masses in the heat. The galleys operated by the various Army and Marine

Corps groups were provided with units, as were the officers' recreation and

living quarters. In three weeks every urgent demand for refrigeration had

been met and a start made on the pe1"manent installations. Batteries of medium and large w1its at each of the galleys stood ready to receive the

tons of Christmas turkey and fixings which were soon to arrive.

A refrigerated scuttlebutt for general use was pieced together out of Jap

c;crap and salvaged parts; the rank was made om of galvanized corrugated

sheathing, beaten flat, and some of the tubing came from shell cases, cut

and brazed. This unic was kept in repair a.nd served the batt:ilion wherever

we went.

Soon after the first of che year, two 6800-foot reefers were ordered and

construction begun. A supply ship bringing fresh meat, fruit, and vege­

tables was soon to arrive and these units were tu receive our valuable share.

Pollowin,g the receipt of this food the ii.land diet of the enlisted tnen reached

and maintained a standard comparable Lo that found on large bases

throughout the Navy. Food spoilage was largely eliminated by the use of

these cold storage f :icilities.

WELL DRILLING

We were fortunate in having a crew of well-driller-. with .1'i much expe­

rience in this line of work as any other battalion's. The five-man detail

rcprc.,enlcd 96) car~ of actual field work, or an average of 19 years per man.

On the other hand, none of them had ever worked m coral or knew any­

thing about drilling through this type of ground.

On Betio a total of 28 wells were put down, six for supplying the stills

with ,air w.1Lcr, 1 R LO furnish water for sprinkling the landing strip, and

four for fire protection at che tank farm. These well., were all ahout 12 5

reel deep and the casings were six inches in diameter, with five notable

exceptions: in the ab..,ence of regular casing, Jap oxygen bottles seven inclH.~

in <liarneter were utilized by burning off the ends with a torch anc..I welding

the sections together; these were sunk in the ground and made an effec­

tive caslllg.

During the night of 23-24 December the drilling rig wa.' damaged by bomb fragments. But the crew made repairs and soon had it operational

again.

TANK FARMS Storage facil1t1cs for aviaLion gasoline had one of the highest priorities of

all our jobs. The tank farm crews distingui~hed themo;elvcs for 'peed and

earned di.: reputation of being the "tank-a-day" men.

Excavations for the tanks were dug in one of the bloodiest areas of the

barcldicld w 1 tl1 the mu al disagreeable and hazardous experiences. Tanks

were assembled and tested as fast as the material wa' brought ashore. Four

and a half miles of connecting pipeline was laid underground and a sea line

was extended beyond the red. \Vhilc hauling out this sea line a tractor was

destroyed br one of the enemy land mines remaining after the bat de.

The num::rous raids and alerts haras)ie<l Lhe night crews, buL no casualties

or damage of consequence were suffered. During the course of comcruc­

tion, tmprov1'1alions were resorted to, such as the manufacture of missing

~taves from captured material.

DOCKS AND WHARVES In the batcle for Hetio the old Jap dock rnok a severe mauling from

bullets .rnd grenades used to dislodge snipers concealed bm<.'ath it. Intended

It was obvious that this dock could never be made substantial or large enough for our needs so a new one was projected, to be run out 2,000 feet from shore a few hundn:d yards cast. This was to be a solid jetty 32 feet wide filled with coral. \Y/ e had brought no material~ that could be used for the "ides of the dock so a structure was improvised from leftover Jap

supplies.

Steel rails for use of the narrow-gauge railway the Japs had installed around the island lay piled in a dump-hundreds of tons of them. These were driven upright at intervals with a pile driver; the method was devised on the spot, there being nothing in the handbook to cover such a practice. For stability th~e rails were joined by Jap re.U1forcing rod-also found in great quantity-welded horizonally to them. The sidewalls of the jetty were fashioned of pierced plank, wire-tied to the rails and laid facing in­board. Behind these, to keep the coral fill from washing through the holes, a sheathing of Jap galvanized iron was applied. Coral was tightly packed between these walls; the fill was estimated at better than 14,000 cubic yards.

At the outer end an artificial coral i'>land was piled up so LSTs and smaller craft could be nosed in to discharge their cargoes directly in to trucks. This facility terminated the old method of driving over the reef at low tide, with its unavoidable desti-uctive action of salt water and coral on the ninning gear. Unloading cranes were left at the point of use now, and worked straight through the tides without danger of being flooded. The duck made possible a considerable speeding-up of the whole un1oad­

mg process.

During the progress of the work there was, especiaJly at night, the con­stant danger of air raid ... Welding arcs made a beacon for enemy aii·craft that might slip in close before the warning system reacted. And as the structure lengthened, the distance to shelter correspondingly increased. As in the case of the heavy equipment operator<;, the noise of work tended to drown out any more distant soimd; thus the alerting siren was not always heeded promprl y. The 2,000-fonL length of this shallow jetty afforded no protection, nor did the terminal island; and on several uccasiom the men went through a raid without cover of any sort. Fortunately there were no casualties, and the work progre~se<l day and night without interruption unLil it was completed.

DIVING AND DEMOLITION One of the smallest yet busiest details in our battalion was the six-man

group that spent theii- time on the ocean floor, salvaging equipment, re­moving <lebri" and obstacles to navigation, and assisting with the installa­tion of underwater cables and pipelines. They were called upon to retrieve lost articles and to examine the hulls of ships. On one occasion they were sent down after the bodies of men in a bomber crew, the plane having crashed in the lagoon, and were singularly succcssf ul 1n Lhis task.

In the course of salvage operations manr articles of military value were

turned over to the authorities, and many more of souvenir value only were

circulated among the battalion. Ships of various sizes and types were either

destroyed where they lay or floated to Jeep water and there ,\unk. The

demolition crew cooperated with the divers in this work; these crew .. also

drilled and blasted coral along the shore and in deep water to clear chan­

nels for navigation and for the construction of marginal wharves.

On several occa,1ons these men were driven from the water by the pres­

ence of sharks fecdinb around the coral heads. The c..lcpth of water en­

countered in these dive., averaged 30 to 40 feet and all of it was done with

shallow-water equipment, even dives of considerably greater depth in

which the men suffered much discomfort for lack of proper helmets

and suits.

The demolition crew used 30 tons of explosives in their work, including

<iix tons of captured enemy dynamite of inferior quality. On Betio con­

:-.iderable blasting awar of heavy Jap concrete became necessary in order

to make room for our own structures and areas. One typical building stood

in the way of our air strip extension and had to be eliminated. The walls,

more than two feet thick, containec..I a network of reinforcing rods some

of which were Y4" in diameter. Herc a number of Marines used to take

shelter during air raids, for it was well-suited lo this purpose. The demoli­

tion men worked all day and set off many charges to destroy this building.

That night an air strip crew came on dut)' aftec dark and failed to notice

it was now but a heap of rubble. Then came a raid and bombs were dropped

close at hand; after the all-clear the strip crew came out of another sheh:er,

looked around, and saw the rubble. Assuming it was the result of a direct

hit, they sounded a general alarm and began digging furiously for the

"bodies" of the Marines who had always taken shelter there!

PONTOONS Pontoon construction, though not high on our priority list, nevertheless

made a valuable contribution to the success of our venture. The ordinaq•

ponroon causeways used in connecting 1 STs to the land in operations that

c:ime later, and launched with dramatic timmg a\ the ship approached its

point of grounding, would have been of no avail on Bctio, where the '>CV­

cral hundred yards depth of reef was not suited to such method'>. Ilut short

spans of a few cells only were useful at first m getting heavy equipment

onto the reef.

who helped assemhlc them ferried ashore man}' thousands of com of am

munition and supplies. Other assemblies were buik for various purpoc;ec;

such as garbage scows, lighters, and fuel tank barges. Crews who performed

scorching steel of their decks, sweating under the relentless equatorial sun of Tarawa, can testify to the arduous nature oi this mnH grueling task.

MACIIlNE SHOP All the major repairs to our equipment as well as thoi.c of nearly every

other outfit on Retio were made in our portable machine shop. Parts that were rnissin~ or broken beyond repair were made or duplicated so that work could go on with the least delay. Flang~ were c.urned out fur the pipeline when it was found that this important item had not been shipped.

Special wrenches and ocher cools were made to carry on with certain jobs; rubber Lracko; (rum a damaged tank were fitted Lo a tractor; crane booms were straightened and rebuilt ; one large crane, wrecked in unload­ing, was restored Lo service by rebuilding its main turntable bushings; the rather intricate teeth for a portable chain saw were duplicated, to keep these busy machines in operation; fire control positions were armor-plated to protect the men from flying shrapnel. These were but a few of the many odd jobs carried out by the machinists.

A great deal of latent talent came to light during the last weeks of our stay when amateur machinists of surprising skill and imagination besieged the shop to fashion souvenirs from Jap materials. Lathes, grinders, drill presses, chain falls, a forge, welding and brazing tools--every sort of useful repair equipment wao; at hand for whatever job, routine or otherwise, might challenge the skill and ingenuity of our men.

WELDING SHOP A permanent welding shop was erected next to the east garage during

the first week of construction. This enabled the men to work under shelter and handle all itcm'i that could be brought in. Portable arc-welding ma­chines were used for this work, as well as for ~uch jobs that could not be moveJ. For cutting steel plates and sections, mobile acetylene generators were provided and small two-wheeled buggies carrying oxygen bottles.

The dock welding was typical of the outside jobs; machines were hauled at low tide to the point of operations and work went on as long as the tides pcrmiucJ. Another such project was ac the garbage burning pit at the west end of Betio, where welded grate.., were furnished. A ramp, hinged to rise and fall with the tides, was fitted co a floating pontoon dock, entai ling much welded work.

Riddled Jap gas trucks were hauled to the shop and patched tu hold water, for u'c :t'i 'pnnklers. A pipe-testing tank was built and line piping for the tank farm connection was tested here, length by length. Another prolonged phase of this crew's work was the welding of these flanges.

At night time, especially when it was cloudy, the atmo-;phere over the island would glow brightly from electric arcs at either shop or dock; this

COOKS AND BAKERS

The longest and hungriest chow line in the memory of our culinary de­partment lined up for breakfast on 26 r\ovcmbcr. Several thou.,and men, representing all the newl>' arrived units, passed through two hastily con­structed 'crving lines. Our firsc meal on Rct10, thoug11 simple and G.I .• was a welcome change from K rations. The men who made 1t poo;sible put

in days and nights of heavy, tedious work.

\"X'hen the galley area had been cleared, stores and equipment were un­loaded, ~cgregated, and guarded. Field kitchens were unpacked and as­sembled, gasoline and WJLCr procu1·ed; sheJves, racks, and ta hie~ were buih, all b) the cooks and bakers. After each meal the galley crew disposed of the

garbage and fought the clouds of flies that inf c~tc<l the area. This first little galley served its thousand'i of customers for two weeks and then was turned over for u~e as :i ship's store since a more complete and roomier one was built nearby. This second galley became a supply depot when our pennanent

one wac; opened on Christmas <lay.

\Ve had turkey on Chri..,tmas, with all the side dishes, and from chen on

our men were served quickly and well. But the cooks remember mmr vivid!)' chose first day ... when, at 0300, they gathered together to prepare breakfast, lit :i lantern, and holding 1t high over their headl> ~tane<l down the road to the gallev shouting lustil) " Don't shoot-we're the cooks!"

Meals were constant!) interrupted by alerts; fires would he put out, food tucke<l away, crew ducking fur cover only to return. and find the meal

spoiled or moH unsatisfactory.

POSTOFFICE \X'ord was passed, ''Mail Call at 1600." That was the afternoon of 2 ~

Kovcmbcr, just 48 hours afcerour arrival. ' flic group that g.1thcrcd around Lhc large tree near head<1uartcrs to receive their mail was not large, for most men were working until six o'clock. \X'hile their names were being

The original postoffice wa-. located in a Jap tent across from the Com­

mand Post and served its purpose until the Fleet Postoffi.ce was opened in

January. Our two clerks handled all the mail for the isbnd withom as­

sistance during the first hectic three weeks. Mail facilities had been given

no priority and got little attention from anyone but the mail clerks, who toiled sixteen hours a day to make the mail calls possible. Soon Christmas

mail began lo arrive, on one occa5ion 800 bags of it! Volunteers from the

office staff helped the clei-ks sort out the mountains of packages and dis­

tribute them.

This first postoffice was inadequate for its purpose . .Mail bags were piled

on the ground and during the frequent rains the men had to bail out with

tin cans. There were no provisions for safeguarding money and stamps,

an<l this required a 24-hour watch shared by the two clerks. But when

the Fleet Postoffice opened they were relieved of much work. We then

moved our own postal facilities to the headquarters area and set up a branch

station. The more isolated details on other isbnds received their letters via

the Guard .Mail boats and their whereabouts were continually checked so

that service could be maintained.

\Vlienever the mail was delayed for any reason, rumors arose that it was

being held up pending a move. Such, however, was not the case al any time.

Mail reached us w1til the day we sailed and was waiting for us at our desti­

nation when we arrived.

SHIP'S SERVICE A ship's store was set up at the very start. its place of business was a Jap

Jugoul near the headquarters office and the merchandise for sale was the

stock remaining from our shipboard stores, consisting largely of cigareucs,

matches, soap, and rnzor blades. The scores conducted business six hours a

day and was open Lo every group on Betio. The storekeepers slept and ate

their K rations in nearby foxholes until the original galley tent was taken

over and opened for business 10 December.

By chis time our supplies had been unloaded and a complete stock of

merchandise was on hand. The first day's business grossed $3200 and from

then on we enjoyed uninterrupted service for the duration of our stay.

\'V'hen a reef er was installed, the men were t rea tec.l to « r ro·/en" candy bars:

hecr and Coca Cola were handled, and a good portion of the beer consumed

on the island was purcha-;cd at our store. On beer days sales averaged $800

for this item alone.

Nine men worked in and around the establishment, assisted by two

J~atives who acted a'> stock men and interpreters for Gilbertcse customer'>.

The natives bought hair oil, soap, candy, gum, etc., t endering British money fnr their purchases. The problem of exchange was largely solved by

dic:poc:ing of this coin to men who wanted it for souvenirs.

During air 1·aids the storekeepers took the money box, usually containing

several thousand dollars, into their shelter and upon returning to the em­porium invariably found its stock shaken from the shelves by the reverber­ations of bombs and anti-aircraft fire. A barber shup was maintained separately, from the start. But we had no laundry, tailoring, or cobbler facilitic11. Fvcn the officers haJ Lo Jo their own washing.

SIGN SHOP One relatively small activity, but a busy one from the time the first man

landed until the last one left, was the 11ign shop. Beginning in a jerry-built shack near the Command Post, the two or three men who handled this work turned out every sort of sign and lertering job needed on the island for Army, Navy, and Marine Corps use. Casu, Acorn, Argus, Flying and Seabce groups kept demanding signs for a thousand purpose~. Eventually some very finished work was procluced when facilities had been improved.

Among the jobs assigned was one that called for many hundreds of cro'>SC<; Lo provide uniform markings on the island's graves. Another was the building, laying out, and lettering of a huge mapped plotting board for the permanent Command Post; this showed the whole Pacific area sur­rounding the Gilberts. Besides the thousands of signs made, there were also markers, plaques, memorials, charts, and maps. And almost anything re­quiring paint was brought LO this shop for professional attention. As many as 15 0 signs were turned out in a single day.

RECREATION AND WELFARE Com(orts and play did not figure in the early schedules at Tarawa. How­

ever, the spiritual welfare of the men was not ignored. On Sundays lx>th the Acorn (Protestant) and Seabee (Catholic) Chaplains held regular divine service, the former in a revetment right on the main air strip with the planes making violent interruption as they revved up. Nor wa.; the Catholic mass much further removed; for this service a battered Japanese warehouse standing next to the taxiway had been shored up and remodeled inside to accommodate large congregations. Early and Sunday masses were said there from the beginning.

Natives came to the services, too, for there had been missionai-y work and well-established Christian adherence in these islands long before the Japa­nese came. These Gilbertese had been trained in choral singing and pos­sessed a remarkable aptitude for harmony. \Ve heard them on other oc­casions, as when the Island Commander held a Christmas Eve gathering on Betio to entertaiu the men with native songs and dancing. No women were permitted on the island while we were there but the Gilbertese are good dancers regardless of sex and have interesting dance forms of their own. The enlisted men reciprocated on this occa11ion with carols and general songs in lusty chorus. An imitation Christmas tree had been made of boards

hung with rcJ and green bunting and strung with lights-a breath of Chrislllla'> only, for everyone had his twelve hour1i or more of work to put in, seven days a week.

Late in January as priority jobs were ii nished, some recreational facilitie., were set up fur the men. They went on a schedule dc.,1gned to give each n

day off in seven, and working hours were reduced co eight per day. Thus there was time for relaxation and enjoyment. Open-air moving pictures were presented nightly by the Acorn and other units; these were charac­terized by interruptions from noisy aircraft and alerts thal did not ma­terialize in raid'>, and by the distracrion of searchlight practice that took pbce overhead.

The battalion Chaplain arranged a camp ~how with singing and musical acts put on by Seabees, for which the band resumed rehearsals; the mess hall was packed and refreshments followed.

Softball team" were organized and a twilight league formed, with team~ representing our different companies. They mel Learns from Army and 'vlarine Corps units and played intramural games. A library was set up 111

the Chaplain's hut where books and magazines could be read. Public ad­dress systems played recordings of popular music during off hours in the

tent areas.

\~lith a more leisurely schedule life again seemed civilized and we were no longer deprived of these outlets either for want of time or equipment. The Bee Hive came to life again, x. an outgrowth of news bulletins posted

on company notice boards. lt was the fust English language publication ever to appear on Betio. Four issues in all were published there.

MISCELLANEOUS There were many rouline details not mentioned in this account but

whose work wa.~ vital to the good operation of the base. All through the comtruction period the men had co be paid, their records kept, and the affairs of the battalion maintained i11 good order. Clerical positions in the Personnel and Disbursing departments were of this sort. Captain~ of the

Head and their minions pcrf urmed a daily inglorious stint, a.I\ did those who manned the hme lines that kept the strip wet, the coxwains and deck hands

who ran our one LCM and our garbage scow, and the Maslcrs-at-arms who looked af tcr such valuables as the pay cash. The cen'>ors should not be for­gotten; theirs was a colorless and unrewarding duty.

Worthy of reference here arc some of the pastimes the men went in for. One had a large and flourishing victory gar<lcn that reached the produc­

tive stage about Lhc time we left. Others spem their off hours collecling sea shell!i, of which many beautiful and unusual kinds abounded in the ~hallow waters around Bctio. Of cat's-eye and cowry they fashioned neck­laces for the girls al home. But the most popular occupaLiun of all was making souvenirs.

Collecting them began when the first man landed and looked around. It has been said that the Souvenir Squad advanced fifty yar<ls in front of the assaull Marines. At any rate, the choicer items were few or non-existent when we took up the search. Jap flags and binoculars were conspicuously absent. Most Jap equipment was found considerably damaged. Rut good hauls were made in some of the dugouts where clothing, medical supplies, inscribed boxes, radio equipment, Jap rnoney, ornaments, medals, designa­tions of rank, etc., were found.

The souvenirs made by the men themselves, however, probably meant more to their families at home than anything else. Hundreds of bracelets were tooled out of aluminum from Jap planes and garnished with military insignia of rhe enemy. Watch bands were made from the same material for personal wear. Ash trays, belt buckles, pins, brooches, rings, foot lockers, etc., were produced almost by the ton. Jap .shell cases, bullets, plane parts, and name plates with or without ideographic characters were prized and hoarded. I Iardly a man lacked some collection, small or large, to send home when the rime came to move.

IN TRANSIT AGAIN Two weeks before the battalion was secured a surveying party f1ew tu

Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands. These men undertook several jobs including the layollt of a large steel tower on Enubuj and the mapping of K wajalein, Ebeye, Enubuj, and Gugegwe islands.

Groups began leaving Betio 28 February in LSTs; by che end of the fol­lowing week all were on the way. Most of us felt we were leaving a kind of home-one we had occupied from the beginning and had built up around us. Betio was our island. Furthermore, in spite of hardships and deprivations at the !ilarl, a fair ly comfortable existence had been achieved; but wherever we were going, no one knew what the score might be. Per­haps, as che French say, when that tattered island faded into the haze for good, some of u~ "left a little piece of himself behind."

The experience of the refrigeration detail during the voyage is worth relating. In the first place, their home-made scuttlebutt had been com­mandeered by individuals remaining at Tarawa, so it was necessary to kid­nap the apparatus and ~ncak it aboard under cover of night. The coup proved successful, and we still have the device. Then five of our large reefers stuffed with meat, butter, and eggs were placed in the bow of an LCT which was being towed by a net Lender-part of our strange inter­island convoy. The heavy seas encountered swamped the machines and necessitated constant vigilance to save their contents. The LCT also car­ried a distillation unit and the refrigeration men spent much of their time producing fresh water. They also stood watch at the helm.

A group of men on another vessel enjoyed an unexpected sightseeing tour around Kwajalein Atoll, anchoring overnight off Enubuj, then spend­ing a few days at Gugegwe, and finally moving on to Roi where a grounded

I ST required a~s1srance in getting off. The men on this ship had ,1mple time to visit the recent battlefields on Roi and Namur and obsene the ruined Japanese installations on the two LSlcts. The 'oyage through d1e ea~tern half of thl' lagoon gave one a dear picrure of the atoll's immense size in contrast t0 the tiny tringe of island-spotted reef around it.

Soon after the middle of March the battalion personnel had been dis­cribured among the various islands where there were job'i for them to Jo and had set up quarters and f.1cilities for subsistence.

THE WORK K wajal~in differed from Tarawa in many respects. Ilcrc our work was

to supplement that of the Anny Aeronautical Fngineers. The "Flying Castle..," had already converted the air strip on K wajalein Island to the use~ of the 7th Air Force and were laying out the site of the Air Depot. Other Ka val units were at work Lhcrc, LOO. There was no dominating assignment with many contributing subordinate projects like those we had ju ... 1

completed.

However, the battalion was staffed and equipped to do many '>f>Cl:itic, vital JObs needed on a dozen island~ around the atoll. Relieved of the strain under which they had become used to working, and immediately g1'\<Cn much more favorable living conditions, the men outdiJ thcmo;clvcs. Camps anJ building-. were creeled on si:.. island!>; nearly every type of military structure was represented.

A det:1.1l wa'> )len t ro t~wadack tO set up a highly technical installation and a camp to go with it. Supposedly an uninhabited island and thick I)' wooded, Ewadack presented a forbidding appearance. Right away three skulking figures \Vere seen vani!>hing into the brush; partly on this accou11t a guard was established. The work went ahead, however, and a large area was cleared. The men were cnLircly on their own, acting as cooks, corpsmen, guards, mechanics, and builders. Three small Quonset huts and nine LcnLs were erected, then a water tower, a lookout tower, a galley, and a complete water supply sy..,tcm. The men even laid out a baseball diamond. In nine days they turned this camp over to a Gropac unit, who reported noL long afterward that they had flushed four Japs r ram ambush and packed them off to join their ancestors.

Captured Jap material wac; utili'led on Kwajalein as it had been on Betio. A good deal of scored cement was found and used in construction, as were tons of reinforcing steel, though much of the latter was unfit ;ind had tub( discarded. Ilugc piles of coal briqucts of poor qualiq1 , for which no use could be found, were also hauled off and dumped in the sea.

Our power and light company installed and maintained branch plants on five different islands. An average of 75 men were employed wid1 a LOLa l of 28 diesel fueled generators on Lhe lines. Our camps and buildings were of course wired by our own electrical gangs.

The refrigeration crew provided equipment on several islands. They

found there was not a single drop of cooled water on Fbeye so in fairly shore order made four scuttlebutts for galle)' and general use of the naval units stationed there. On Gugcgwe they turned out an 8-gallon ice cream freezer, mo~tl} of scrapped Jap material. Servicing the variou' unil'i con­sumed much time and energy.

Dock work around K wajaJein Atoll compmed five large projects. The most interescmg of these Wa.\ perhaps the 250-foot (wide) dock built for the boat pool on Kwajalein Island; this dock extended 150 feet out into the water and was fifteen feet high. It was built without interference to the Boat Pool opcrauons, the LCMs and LCVPs using the old ruined Jap pier until the new one was half finished, then transferrmg. Two Jcnwli-;hcd Jap wareholl5es provided debris for fill, together with all .sort<; ot scrap nu­tcrial, a total of over 20,000 cubic yards.

A solid crib contained this fill and was made from 60,000 I meal ( cct of cocoanut logs doweled with Jap pins aml bnlto;. Jap winches were used fo r hoi<iting and placing materials, and axle-and-wheel assemblies from the narrow-gauge rolling stock found on the island made weights tu sink the crib" evenly into po~illon.

An officers' mess about 20 by 40 feet had co be moved at one stage of the work and this was done wich tables fuJly set for luncheon; skids were run under 1l, a bulldo7.er lutched up, and the structure moved 200 yards with­out disturbing a dish or spilling a glass of water.

Two dock jobs were undertaken on Gugegwe. The first oi the,c was to repair and make '>erv1ceablc a small ship wa)'S that might have been used by che enemy for work on one-man submarines. This was found in good condition; the break.walls running into the lagoon were mt act and mosc of the ramp and railway undamaged. But heaps of debris had to be cleared from around the structure and a sunken ship removed from the f out of the railw;1y, which stretched far out under water. A new dock to handle the unloading of small craft was built of concrete blocks cast in pbce to secure a floating poncoon section. Considerable difficulty was encountered in set­ting thc.\e blocks without caissons, due to the undercutting action of the sea; but the work was finally accomplished.

The main Jap dock on Kwajalein Island was an imprcs,ivc and useful facility. Partly demolished by shell fire during the battle, rebuilding aL the lagoon end and patching throughout the length became neccssar)' in order to derive full use of it. To take this dock the Army had had to knock out pillboxes set along it at regular intervals and had med heavy concentrauom of artillery. The very considerable damage at these pomts, a.' well as along

the lagoon face, were repaired entirely with reinforced concrete.

The fifth project, on another island, called for a wharf to accommodate small boats. Again concrete was indicated, and the blocks were in this in­stance cast ashore, which necessitated most skilful rigging to place them accurate!}'.

.An incident of general imcre'it took place on Kw.ijalein Islantl when a request was received for anchor chain. A ship in the harbor had dropped

lier equipment in deep water and it could not be recovered. In this emer­gency a widc-)iprcad sc.irch was instituted and the dock crew reported find­

ing a 7/s'' chain of U.S. m.mufacturc .md undetermined length buried ir. dehri., being used for fill. Hitching a bulldozer to the cxpo~ed portion, 200

1:trhom5 was pullcJ from the mass, all in excellent condition; but with this

chain came other legacies from the Jap': 'c\eral truck chassis of variou-; m.1kc,, Ford V-8 motors in almost new condition. old anchors, and a miscel­

lany of equipment, much of which was put co appropriate use.

The ship which had been '>unk in battle off the end of the marine railway

on Gugcgwc was blown up by the diving and demolition c1ews. To accom­

plish chis, the largest charge of explosive thev ever used in one blast was

<ict off; it consisted of 4,000 pounds of nitrumon, assisted by a 3 5 0-pound

mine dio;co,,,crcd nc:irby. The ~hip was completely demolished in place.

na\'i~ation were systematic.illy dynamited. Some derelicts being too large

for Jcmolicion where they by were ra1i.ed, towed out to sea, and sunk..

More than thirty hulks were thus disposed of at Kwajalcin.

Shallow water diving a.' a form of recreation was instituted on Gugcgwc

when the rush of work subsided. About 3 50 dives of this sort were made.

thrill of exploring the ocean floor. Many cried it repeaccdl}'··

Two large ta11k farms were erected; assisting our crew on the :first of these were seventeen Army sergeants, who picked up some new tricks for future use with their units.

Half a do:.-en large tanks were assembled on barges. \'Vith each wa11 in­cluded a bundle of wiping rags; the men were constantly badgered by natives eagerly bargaining for the more highly-colored of these cloth bits. Pre.sumably they were used in making garments or household linen.

Miles of coral surfaci11g foi- roads was placed by the heavy equipment and transportation detail, on several islands. The highways were also straightened and leveled, for the Japs seem to like narrow, twisting lanes in preference to direct access routes. These drivers and operators also paved many areas with coral around buildings and through camp sites.

foxholes were never essential at Kwajalein, fortunately, although they were provided from the start and were occupied on several occasions when the alert sounded. Instead of being spread all over and either freshly dug by hand or converted from exjsting Jap earthworks, we borrowed a me­chanical ditcher on Kwajalein Island and laid out a pattern of trenches through Ll1c camp site, around which the tents were subsequently pitched.

Recreational facilities were not as limited as previously. Most of the groups had access to one or more moving picture shows; nearly every Army unit had its own, and the Marines were always hospitable to our men. Soft­ball diamonds were Jaid out in quantity and nearly every man in the bat­talion played on a team. Beer was more plentiful. We operated a fine store and harbershop. Generally speaking, all the activities recounted in the story of Betio were revived or elaborated on the i.o;;lands of K wajalein.

BACK TO CIVILIZATION By June most assignments were completed and everyone played softball

while waiting for transportation back. \Ve returned in groups, the earlier ones by ships and some of the last hy plane. In October we were all together once more under the command of a new Officer-in-Charge; with liberty, daily papers, radio, and all the long-foregone pterequisites of rear area liv­ing, even though the prospect remained unknown, things were looking llP;

}or the :first time, the Bee Hive came out regularly once a week. We opened a ship's store to rival or <>urpass most of the city's establishments and we had a beer garden where, at the end of eve1ry afternoon men might simultaneously enjoy the company of their friends and unlimited quan­tities of brew. The menus in the mess hall were fabulous. \Ve waxed fat and as reasonably happy as men could, away from home.

Here we still ai-e. The scuttlebutt continues, the wagers pile up. "Home by Easter" rouses the usual questio11, "\Vhich Easter?" .bur Easter we will probably substitute Fourth of July, Labor Day, and Christmas, as time passes, unless and llntil we find ourselves headed for the coast of California. May the day come soon!
