"They carry machine guns, like pistols they say,
And knife that was tempered in He'll
And the Raiders all claim no mortal by name
Could use them one-Quarter so 1UeH.

And fought the demons of old
And those aCho there 1villing to s,cear

And tell of the deeds that aUere DONE
But Carlson's Raiders WiN sing for themselves
And tell hoaU the battle icas 1Oon.

Many of the japanese
troops who hurried into the
fighting were fully dressed
an additional indication,
aside from the tree-top
snipers, that even though
the m arines outsmarted
them in effecting a surprise
landing, the enemy had
been on the alert.
1t was indicated that the
Japanese were similarly on
the alert in every tiny
island they held in the
Pacific, feeling that the
navy and marines, and pos
sibly army troops, might
attack at any hour.
Natives told the marines
that the snipers had been
in the trees for several
days, apparently since they
got word Of the marine
landing in the Solomons.
The japanese hand gren-
adiers got in six salvoes of
bombs before the marines
disposed of them.

Lose Only , Men

This group lost only three
men before it withdrew and
returned to its ship.
1T was one of the coolest
and most outstanding jobs

mented Carlson.
At 11:30 a. m. Japanese
planes swept overhead.
They had come apparently
from Jaluit and Wolfe, the
enemy bases in the Mar
shall Islands to the north
which a navy task force
had devastated in January.
They reconnoitered and
dropped a few bombs.
At 1:20 p. m. IL enemy
bombers and a protecting
force of Zero fighters APP
peared and opened a rs
minute attack.
"They really went to
town." said Carlson. But
they hit their own troops
more than they did our
positions"

Carlson, tall, with close
cropped gray hair, told the
story to newspaper cor

mented.
They climbed the COCO

The natives had been

Pvt. Donald Daniels of

Then he was shot in both

dragged himself along the

The snipers caused the

Knifes Gunner

Then the marines went
after the machine gun nests
which dotted the base area.
Cpl. Edward w. Wygal
of Filler, O., knocked out a
nest with one hand grenade.
He found two Japanese left
in it. The first he disposed
of with his pistol. The Sec
ond attacked him and Wy
gal eliminated him with his
knife.
One group Of marines
was separated from the
main body. Under 1t. o.

enemy lines. They heard
firing, moved across a road

killed eight Japanese.

HThe entire operation
ashore took the marines 40
hours.
Carlson said the men of
the japanese garrison av-
eraged about 20 years of
age.
"They were a higher type
than any Japanese i saw in
China" he said. "They
were darn good boys"
He said the natives of the
little British island were
most cooperative.

Destroy Base

1t was during this raid
that the marine machine
gunner knocked out the two
planes which landed in the
lagoon.
BY 4 p. m. the fighting
was nearly over and the
marines were looking vainly
for the eight japanese re-
naming so they could take
back some prisoners.
The next day Japanese
planes attacked four times
while the marines were
killing the remaining six
enemy troops they found
and destroying the base.
No marines were casual
ties in any air raid.
The japanese were not
sure VIII ere the marines
landed, Carlson said. They
methodically bombed the
entire 35-mile atoll from
north to south.
When night began to fall
the marines, unable to find
the two japanese remain
ing on the island, called
their mission complete.
