Summary
[edit]DescriptionLetter, 23 February 1941, page 2 of 6.jpg |
English: "This “Island of the Damned” has two sorts of weather-scorching suns and torrential rains. You either fry your brains in the heat, or wade in mud up to your armpits. It rained so much the first two weeks we were here that I began to grow webs between my toes.
Another attractive feature of this “Island Paradise” is the water situation. I realize that the powers that be had decided over a year ago, that this was to be our final destination and so short a period of time would be hardly enough to prepare adequate bathing facilities for a large body" From the Edward L. Parke Collection (COLL/5627) at the Archives Branch, Marine Corps History Division OFFICIAL USMC PHOTOGRAPH |
