Show Graphic Description Of the Sound of Battle NEW YORK. Writers have used many reams of paper trying to describe de-scribe the sound of battle, but none has been more graphic than Pfc.i Bernard P. Brannigan of New York,: N. Y. "It sounded," Brannigan said, just like a baseball game in Brooklyn, Brook-lyn, except that the Japs were throwing hand grenade' instead of pop bottles. I don't mean to give Brooklyn the business, but the noise during the battle was the closest thing to the noise over in Ebbets Field when the Giants and Dodgers hook up. And I want it understood under-stood I am no friend of the New York Giants, either," reports "The Leatherneck." Could it be that "Banzai" is really real-ly the Jap equivalent of "Kill the umpire!" or "Throw the bum put!". |
