For GuadaIcanaI Action

Col. George E. Rowan, United

Mrs. G. E. Rowan, 2517 Mozart
place NV, has been commended by
Maj. Gen. A. A. Vandergrift, United
States Marine Corps, for outstand-
ing performance during the initial
Guadalcanal offensive where he was
officer in charge of the landing
beach.
The commendation reads:
During the period 7 August tc
20 September, the subject officer
performed his duties in such an
outstanding manner as to be worthy
of commendation.
"As officer in charge of the land
ing beach on Guadalcanal during
the initial landing, he with the ,lim-
tied number of personnel available
to him for the unloading of supplies
on the beach and their movement
to dumps, worked to the point of
physical exhaustion without rest or
surcease to the end that sufficient
supplies for the support of the unit
might be landed.
Subsequent to the landing, Col.
Rowan effectively organized a shore
party for the unloading of supply
ships in the most expeditions man
ner greatly contributing to secur-
ity by the quantity of supplies
landed and to the security of sup
ply ships by the shortness of the in
terval required for their unloading"
Col. Rowan is now on duty at
Camp Lejeune, New River, North
Carolina.
