It is with sadness that we learn of the great losses suffered in the battle to take Tarawa; but it is with pride, too, that the nation receives this word. For on Tarawa—as they have before—the marines proved that they can take, as well as give, punishment and that their valor and tenacity is not discouraged by withering enemy fire Tarawa, according to officers who were one of the toughest battles in the 168-year history of the corps. Attacking solidly established shore positions, manned by 4,000 enemy troops, the marines, with a decidedly smaller force, continued their un- wavering attack in spite of opposition which would have stopped a less courageous unit. For 76 hours they braved the best defense that the best of the there, was Nipponese soldiers could present. And at the end of that time they had eliminated the entire nemy garrison There were times during the fighting when the Japs, with a well-organized counterattack, might have killed or captured the entire leatherneck force, accord- ing to the opinion of one of the marine officers. “They could have wiped us out, but they couldn’t have driven us off,” the officer declared The battle of Tarawa adds another brilliant, story list of heroic achieve- albeit sad, to the lo Philadelphia Public Ledger.
