Leyte Island, Philippines

Notes:
Friday, October 20, 1944:



We landed troops this morning in Leyte at 8:45. Really a sight to see. We were 1000 yards from the beach. You could see Japs everywhere. We had a few dive bombing attacks. Nothing to speak of. They are landing 120,000 troops on these islands. There are about 2,000 Marines in the hills that are stranded here. They picked up three Filipinos yesterday. They said there were 20,000 guerillas in the hills waiting for arms.

This is the biggest landing they have had out here.



Rather a funny one happened this morning. We were firing phosphorous shells. It set fire to some Japs. They were beating the fire out with their hands. They shouldn't have bothered. The next one put it out for them.
