Marines on Guam under Jap madness and brave counterattacks
On Guam the Marines endured brutal Japs fighting tactics in caves and hills. A sniper risked death repeatedly until spotted by a Marine dog, then blew himself with a grenade. Japanese naval marching columns pressed toward Americans as foxholes and machine guns held lines. Lieutenant Alan Shaffey led piles of dead Japs after heavy fighting, while tanks and anti tank guns clashed along the Medao Lo front.
