Description

Vol. 32 No. 12 ……. Cover: Our Cover is an action shot from Guadalcanal. The emplacement was taken from the Japs, and is now being used against them. Notice especially that the howitzer crew wears helmets, but no shirts; No. 5 is on the job, to shift the trail; protective sandbags have been mottled, and also have leaves to break their regular outline; there is good cover from air observation; ammunition is stored nearby, apparently in pits or small caves; the trail has been dug in, perhaps by recoil; and finally, the men look trim and happy. …..
