As the landing craft approached YELLOW Beach from the lagoon, they began
to receive small-arms and machine-gun fire from the island's defenders.
The assault troops were also surprised to learn that even though they
were approaching the beach at high tide as planned, a miscalculation of
the depth of the lagoon caused their small boats to go aground, forcing
them to cover the final 250 yards to the beach in waist-deep water.

U.S. Marine Raiders gathered in front of a Japanese dugout at Cape Totkina on Bougainville, Soloman Islands, which they helped to take on January 1944. These men have earned the bloody reputation of being skillful jungle fighters in the Pacific.
