Newspaper Clipping 'A Cry From Kwajalein' by Don Mainhurst, Pasted in McAleer Scrapbook
This newspaper clipping, titled 'A Cry From Kwajalein,' preserves the candid words of a Navy sailor stationed on Kwajalein Atoll following its capture from Japanese forces in February 1944. Written by Los Angeles sailor Don Mainhurst, the article gives voice to the long, isolated deployments and psychological strain endured by 'forgotten' Navy personnel garrisoned on remote Pacific islands after the fighting had ended.
