This is a new chapter in the story of the US Marines. Because it was written by a Crack Newspaperman, who knew how to do his job, it lacks rhetorical trimmings and melodramatic outbursts. Tregaskis realized that he had a terrific story to send home; he added to the impact by telling it in simple straightforward English. The Diary begins on Sunday, July 26, 1942 on a transport bound for a destination still unknown, even to the Commanding Officer of the troops aboard.
