GUNNERY

AN ARTILLERY BATTALION
HEADQUARTERS, Bougainville.
—A group of Marine Corps raid
ers, coming out of the lines after
the vicious fight at Piva 4 in the
early days of the American inva
sion of Bougainville, reached an
artillery emplacment.
A half dozen bearded lads,
weary from fighting and over
wrought from a succession of
close calls, ran to the gun and
kissed it.
Said one of the raiders to a
member of the gun crew:
“Anytime you want this gun
cleaned and pressed just call on
the raiders—they’ll do it.”
The story was recounted by Col.
John B. Wilson of Corvallis, Ore.,
and his executive, Lt.-Col. John
! S. Letcher fo Lexington, Va., of
'
| Shismaref.
Sunday a trip was made to Gol
ovin ot bring in Ralph Lomen,
who has been there completing
' the transaction of selling the Lo
' men Co.’s Golovin store to Mr.
Jack Westfall.
a Marine artillery regiment.
It illustrated the gratiude for
and the reliance placed on the
heavy guns by the front line fight
ers in this jungle campaign.
In the Piva 4 fight a raider unit
ran into a heavy enemy concen
tration, was pinned down and suc
ceeding units trying to cover a
withdrawal were also pinned
down. They called for artillery
and the rain of projectiles—of*en
directed by expert spotters who
wave developed “jungle eyes” to
within 80 or 100 yards of the
American lines—enabled trapped
outfits to withdraw and cleared
the way for later advances.
The artillery contributed what
has been called the heaviest bar
rage in Marine Corps history prior
to the advance beyond Cibik’s
ridge—a movement that drove the
enemy from important high
ground and extended the Ameri
can lines eight hundred yards.
