Bougainville Scouts Move Through Jungle On Five Day Recon
Army scouts in Bougainville conduct five day reconnaissance through dense jungle. They rely on wood lore, endure constant rain and mosquitoes, keep watch in small foxholes, and radio links sometimes fail. The unit, led by Capt. Carlan, includes S/Sgt. Orick and S/Sgt. Lucas, who describe rugged patrols, silent approach, and disciplined bivouacs while seeking Japs, prisoners, and targets.
