Show THURSDAY, JANUARY 27, 1944 THE LEHI SUN, LEHI, UTAH THURSDAY, JANUARY 27, American Fork News Letter From Lieut. Edward N. Dahlstrom Lieutenant Edward N. Dahlstrom, Dahl-strom, who has seen active service serv-ice In the Alrution Islands, has written his wife, the former Betty Bet-ty Halstrom, a first hand account of the battle of Attu. The letter let-ter came through uncensored and describes the action as follows: "You would never recognize Attu village now. The picture you have no doubt was taken even in pre-Jap days. Padre besiEed us not to blow up the church, He wanted to hold services in It as soon as the bat tle was over.

Reports got back that lipstick had been found by our troops. This later turned out to be sealing wax In containers similar to lipstick. It seems that each Jap has a seal and uses the wax and seal for his signature. It was about eleven at night when we hit the beach. They had sent us over the side at five o'clock in the afternoon. For six hours we tossed and pitched in that small boat. The fog was so thick you couldn't see over 50 yards in any direction. Colonel Huggins decided to move inland a hundred yards or so to set up our C. P. I hope I never have to spend another night like that one. It was so bitter cold you actually wished you could be shot and taken back to that nice warm ship. Turner and I took turns walking and sleeping. We had no bedding bed-ding of any sort and nothing but wet, mucky tundra to sleep In. Our infantry had encountered very little enemy opposition the first day. After that first terri ble night things started to hap pen. It was decided that we should move from the beach to a point inland some 2000 yards. Our sleeping bags and ruck sacks arrived on the beach just prior to this move. We loaded ourselves down with our personal equipment equip-ment and started up 'the hill. The mud and muck was such that you could make scarcely any headway. It took us four hours to lug our 200 pound packs that miserable 2000 yards. (Just slightly over a mile)- (He tells of the hours it took to bring a big radio, two tractors, and a jeep from the beach to the camp). "It was about 11 o'clock at night and still daylight and would be for another hour and a half. This allowed us plenty of time to get the radio in operation. opera-tion. Just about the time I was ready to turn in one of the naval liason officers showed up. The poor kid had had his party all shot up by Jap mortors. He had lost his radio, bed roll and everything but himself. He was wet and cold and it was too late for him to get back out to the ship for a dry outfit and a bed. I gave him what dry clothes I had and half my sleeping bag and put him to bed in my fox hole. I then proceeded to put the old shovel to work on another an-other hole for me. The third day was spent chief ly in digging in our jeeps and a couple of large tents. It was during this third day that it was let out to the troops that colonel Earl had been kill ed. I shall never forget the General's face as he returned form the funeral. That evening about 5 o'clock we were all to get a surprise. Our first baptism of fire.

Fork seventy-fives at us. They hit a medic tent about a hundred yards from us, killing four men and wounding six with one shell. They shifted over a little and dropped some around our supply dump. They had all of us guessing guess-ing as to where the next round would land. They never did put any down on us. Why' I'll never understand. Thank God the Jap is a poor artillery man. They fired only ten rounds and then quit. Ray Tree let out a volley or two from his battery in the general direction of the sound and everything quitened down. We were to have this little escapade for nearly a week. Had we known it we probably would have moved our happy home. The third night of this shelling was the worst. They fired into a mess line where the poor litter bearers were waiting for their meal. They had been out since daylight bringing in the wounded. wound-ed. The Japs put three rounds into this kitchen, set up in rapid succession. There were nineteen people put out of the fight with the first round. The three rounds caused six deaths and 20 wounded. The next day a field artillery battery of ours put an end to the gun and the crew. Needless to say we slept better that night. and Mrs. William H. Wright and Mr. and Mrs. Ernest FroeUch.
