Transcription: 22,000 Japs died in the fanatical defense of EO against marine courage that would not be denied. Few prisoners were taken in the 27-day struggle. Literally thousands of foxholes and fill boxes had to be taken before EO was ours. The fortifications of the Jap bastion make even more incredible the epic of marine achievement. But take it they did, to their everlasting glory. The blood-soaked volcanic ash will live forever as their monument.
