Sgt Barrett McGurn reports from Bougainville where artillery pounds three 75s and two 155s while soldiers retreat to jungle hammocks between dawns of deafening shells. Observers note a newly built Jap structure as planes and Piper Cubs patrol the front. Night brings fear and silent dreams amid continuous fire.
