Barnett With Marine
DemoIitions Team

Pharmacists Mate Second Class
Jack Barnett, 49, of 2515 Thirteenth
street NV accompanied a five
man demolitions team which fol-
lowed directly behind the front lines
on Saipan to blast the Japanese
from caves which the infantry units
did not have time to clear out.
The Navy corpsman, who grew a
flowing red beard during the cam
paign and combed it carefully every
morning, did not carry a weapon or
take part in the actual demolitions.
His job was to keep the marines in
good health and send back to the
rear any marine who could not be
treated at the 'front.' a Marine Corps
correspondent reports.
The demolitions team scored 100
Jap soldiers definitely killed, un-
countable others killed and wound
ed, hundreds of prisoners taken
from caves and more than so large
caves blasted to smithereens.

"As the boys returned from the
hospital they would come in looking
for me to tell their experiences and
give me the dope They looked for

their village atmosphere they didn't

American. I'm continually amazed
at how Red Cross and doughnuts

the men.

since their experiences. The men
cling together more and find COM
fort being with those they went
through hell with. Three of the men
and two officers are practically in
|separable since their return because
of their dependency on each other
in combat.
Most of the men will tell about
their experiences. In fact, they are
more than eager to talk. It seems
to act as a balm and an outlet. They
aren't grim about it, though. Their
sense of humor Is keen and the
things that were manning or threat
ening death are now things of
comedy.
"They are fine men, and I will al
ways be proud Of them and the little
that I've been allowed to do for
them" ....
Miss Briggs service began when
she went overseas with the Army as

Red Cross in England for q year.

pitals in one locality and found lots
of our men.
"One of the men had been shot
through the abdomen and had
trouble holding it in place when he
stood up. 1 suggested sending him
an old girdle to hold his tummy up.
He laughed and agreed. He dropped
in to see me the other day, report
ing that it worked fine.
I'm stiff and sore today because
last night piled in a truck and
took doughnuts to the field for the
platoons who are out on separate
problems for three days. They were
scattered all over the place and we
had to hunt for miles to find them.
They set up tents and are going
through exercises, sniping practices,
etc. Taking page from the
Germans, they are.
Men who have actually been in
combat differ greatly in their atti-
tudes toward training problems.
Some of them say they don't want
to play because they've been in the
real thing and it didn't work that
way-not realizing that next time
may be a different story. But most
Of the men enjoy the problems more
because they see the reason for
them and want to smooth out their
weak points. 4.

Marines Find Life
Pleasant al Tinian
By IRVING SCHLOSSENBERG,
OF 20 Fourteenth street NE, Marine
Corps Combat Correspondent.


TINIAN. Marianas Islands ODE
layed This is the fifth day of the
Tinian invasion-and it is one OF
the strangest wars of the Pacific.
Just about three miles away is
Saipan, scene of one of the blood
lest, toughest campaigns in the his
tory of America. and here on Tinian
you wouldn't know war was going
on If it wasn't for the marine
artillery booming at Jap targets.
Casualties have been extremely
light.
Aside from one day of very heavy
rainfall, the weather, though q
trifle hot, has been almost like
Miami, Fla, in the winter time, OF
Washington, D. c., in cherry bios
som time.
At night cool breezes come in from
the ocean and sleeping, not con-
sidering the mosquitoes, is pleasant
1t is the first time the marines
have not dug foxholes to sleep in. It
is more like maneuvers.
But there are Japs here, and
plenty Of them. The first night
they launched a counterattack and
the Leathernecks, fresh from their
victory at Saipan, killed hundreds OF
the charging Japs, with almost
negligible losses to themselves. The
night before last the Japs tried II
again and more than 100 of them
were killed.
Yet this doesn't seem. like the kind
of war we are used to in the Pacific
Things are too pleasant and toe
quiet. Don't get us wrong, though
We like 1t this way.

Most of this gear will be put to
good use by the marines. The saki
"a winelike beverage with which
the japanese are believed to fortify
themselves for battle-was de-
stroyed. The cans of crabmeat and
fish, the small tasty crackers, the

eaten. The efficient little japanese

will cook many a marine meal.
Nothing will be wasted.
