There are two inches of track which I mapped under fire the whole way and which cost 3 of our boys wounded…To us it means blood and sweat and days of intense nervous tension…Perhaps when years later school-kiddies pick up maps of these islands and find names of roads and hills and rivers such as Blanche's Junction, Holland's Stream and Slater's Knoll [they] may wonder how they were named. How are they to know that somewhere along the road lays the body of the man it's called after. Or that that little blue stream running along over the map once held hidden Jap foxholes in its banks, and out of which a stream of bullets cut the thin line of life of the soldier – who was the first to attempt to cross it.
