RELAXING AT THE C.P.
(L. to R.) Earl Soucie, Chris Johnson, John Bartlett and Perry
Bandt were all from my third squad. After our Night of 1000
Hours atop the magazine at Battery Hearn, "F" Company roved back
to our bivouac area for the night. The nights were quiet and
peaceful now. We enjoyed being up in the light house and on the
water tanks. During the earlier nights we never knew where the
Japs were hiding - around us, under us, or just where. Now they
had to come up to get us. We were ignorant of the structures on
the island.
