Fijians Prove Valuable In Battle
Fijian forces prove crucial in Pacific fighting. The small islanders, about 100000 strong, join U S and Allied troops as bush warriors, aiding in Bougainville and Guadalcanal campaigns. Reports say one Fiji battalion advanced 37 miles through jungle, faced 2000 Imperial troops, and suffered minimal losses. Their jungle knowledge and discipline bolster Allied efforts with intelligence and frontline action.
