By Michael Timothy Cavanaugh

THEY WENT TO FIGHT THE EVIL OF THEIR DAY SO WE COULD LIVE IN FREEDOM TO FIGHT THE EVILS OF OURS!Having completed basic training at Camp Roberts, California, and with their much anticipated leaves cancelled, young men of the fighting 32 Red Arrow Division broke down into companies and boarded the Lurline to sail to, "somewhere in the South Pacific." In route, they were given a clue: "Somewhere begins with the letter A." Finally, they were told they were going to Australia. Initially sent to defend Australia, their mission turned offensive as these men, barely trained in jungle warfare, entered the jungles of New Guinea to fight what at that time seemed an invincible Japanese army. The terrain they fought over has been described as some of the harshest any American army has ever encountered.
