The Navy has dispatched a group
of officers, enlisted men and civil

former civilian employees of the

Capt. Carney is the son of Rear

Individual feats of heroism dur

Hospital Corpsmen Praised.
Navy hospital corpsmen walked
up to the very muzzles of enemy
guns to get the wounded.
Out of more than 100 corpsmen
attached to this unit, 80 were casu-
alties. Despite the efforts of the
corpSmen, scores of wounded lay
on the beaches for as long as SO
hours before they could be evacu-
ated. to hospital ships.
Evacuation was our biggest prob
lem," said Navy 1t William F. Lynn,
36, Altadena, Calf, the acting regi-
mental surgeon.
Evacuation of wounded from the
beach was under the terrible handi-
cap of continuous mortar fire. In
this respect the wounded probably
were safer at the front than at the
beach.
But no place on Two Jima was
safe

Dartmouth College, where he was
a star diver on the swimming team,
and entered the service after his
graduation in 1912
In addition to being the son of
the chief of staff of the Sd Fleet,
Rear Admiral Carney, he is the
