Afterwards we boarded the transports
known as the Unholy Four...
:02:51
...and steamed from Wellington Bay
full of fight...
:02:54
...and confident that we
would soon be storming a beachhead.
:03:06
A week later we dropped anchor
in Skylark Channel...
:03:09
...off an island known as Guadalcanal.
:03:11
And then we got the word.
:03:14
There would be no beachhead here
for Huxley's battalion.
:03:17
Our assignment:
A dirty mop-up campaign.
:03:20
As Marines, we took it
like any other order...
:03:22
...but it was a blow
to the pride of Huxley's Harlots.
:03:37
Weary Marines of the 1st Division,
after five months fighting...
:03:40
...stood by on the beach
to be relieved.
