Diary Entries, 9 and 10 March 1943

"Am still on Tulagi. We have been getting bombed at night here by the Japs. 12 men have been killed. It sure is hell when you can't see them and can hear that bomb whistle on its way down. The mail is coming in pretty good lately.

 

We haven't been doing anything but sit around all day. This place is being built up pretty fast. I have a pretty good bomb shelter now. The weather here is still hot. Have been over to Guadalcanal a couple of times looking for our mail."
