re: #376 Dark_Falcon

Another worthwhile note about Peleliu: It was the only Central Pacific island battle where the Japanese were able to send reinforcements after it had begun. The Japanese sent soldiers by landing barge from Koror (another island in the same group), and though many were killed en route, at least a battalion made it through. Ultimately, one the first objectives of the US Army reinforcements sent to Peleliu was to take the northern tip of the island to cut off the flow of Japanese reinforcements.

I presume you’ve read “With The Old Breed” by Eugene Sledge?
