Tracers Give Appearance Os Fourth Os July As
{ -s
Marines On Iwo Jima Hear Surrender Rumor
Pfc. R. C. Mann Writes
From Foxhole dn Island .
When a rumor that Germany had
surrendered was flashed among
Marines on Iwo Jima, “everybody
and everything was firing. It looked
like Fourth of July fireworks with
all the tracers in the air,” Pfc. R.
C. (Red) Mann wrote recently from
Iwo Jima.
In a letter written March 8 by
candlelight in a foxhole on the
island, he said:
“We are about 2,000 yards from
the front lines but things are pretty
quiet tonight. The boys have sure
taken a beating since we have been
here, and still are taking one. They
hope to have the island fairly se
cured soon and we all hope they do.
“We have been herein days and
are more than ready for .some hot
chow and a chance to clean up.
The worst part of the operation
is over we believe and I ofertainly
hope so.”
Writing again on the nineteenth,
Mann reported that the island was
officially secured but that there
still was some fighting on the lines.
Small bands of Japs and isolated
snipers were blown out of their hid
ing places in caves with TNT.
‘Bismarck Sea’ Survivor
Now Home On Navy Leave
Japs Strafe Sailors Swimming in
Heavy Seas Off Iwo Jima
Now on leave, F. R. Plichta, Sea-<
man first class, of 1144 Maple street,
was among the nearly 400 survivors
of the “Bismarck Sea” The Blue
jackets and officers who were res
cued after the hard-hitting Nary
escort carrier was sunk by enemy
aerial attack off Iwo Jima on Feb
ruary 21, burst into cheers as they
set foot again on the mainland in
San Francisco. \
The men had struggled helplessly
for two to four hours in the moun
tainous, Icy waters before they were
rescued by Naval vessels. Nearly
100 of their shipmates were killed
as Jap machine gunners strafed
them as they floundered in the
heavy seas.
Loss of the Bismarck Sea, with
more than 300 casualties, resulted
from two mortal hits about 30 miles
off shore.
