ARMY TAKES OVER
ON CUADALCANAL
CONTINUED From Page One)

The first division of the A. E. F.
spent 223 days at the front in the
first World war but that time in
cluded training period and some
battle lulls.
But there had been few 1ulls for
the Marines since they leaped into
the surf and raced onto the narrow
beaches of Guadalcanal August 7.
They battered the enemy back
from the airfield the Japanese were
constructing and took it for their
own. They named it Henderson
Field and with the Navy carried on
the construction job. Now that air.
field is base for far-flung attacks
on enemy shipping, and for forays
against the Japanese air and naval
bases at Munda, on Bougainville
and other islands.
Vandegrift, 55 years old, moved
onto the island with his men when
they jumped out of their landing
barges under cover of naval bonn
bardment. He has lived, worked,
played and fought with them since,
sharing their danger in the day
and night bombing attacks of the
Japanese and in the countless jun
gle battles between small patrols
and between large units.
