 Supplies are being unloaded regularly. The blood-soaked sand has been flattened into temporary roads. Perforated steel mats form path for vehicles to bring am- munition and food to the troops fighting on the higher ground. Shore parties are organized and staunchly dug in. The wreckage has been cleared away, and most of our dead have been buried.

The Annapolis man is his executive officer, Maj John H Partridge, 28, whose wife lives in An napolis.
 Many others aided in the work A marine pioneer captain landed with the assault waves to plan the organization of the supply system from ship to shore. He was critically wounded. Seabees landed on D-Day and hung on to that beach under the heaviest smelling any American fighting men have had to take dur ing this war Navy hospital corps men brought the wounded to the beaches and evacuated them to ships waiting using the same landing craft that brought supplies from ship to shore.

ignored. He said:
"The human sire of reconversior
