Wake defenders hold Wake Island against Japanese bombardment
Lieutenant Colonel Devereaux led a stubborn defense as six inch guns and two Wildcats braved daily attacks. On December 10 a 12-ship Japanese task force neared offshore and both destroyers and a gunboat were sunk. Despite heavy damage the American garrison repelled a land invasion while Devereaux later wrote from a Shanghai POW camp detailing endurance, Red Cross aid, and his pig-raising duties.
