520	0		_aWhat was preserved and appears in print here for the first time is a unique chronicle of the war in the South Pacific from the perspective of a sensitive twenty-four-year-old sergeant who wrote for the Army's in-house paper, Yank, The Army Weekly. This is a intensely personal account, reporting the war from the ridge known as the Sea Horse on Guadalcanal, from the bars and dance halls of Auckland to a B-17 flying through the moonlit night to bomb Japanese installations on Bougainville.
520	8		_aMorriss thought deeply and wrote movingly about everything connected with the war: the sordidness and heroism, the competence and the ineptitude of leaders, the strange mixture of constant complaint and steady courage of ordinary GIs, friendships formed under combat stress, and, above all, what he perceived to be his own indecisiveness and weaknesses. Woven through the diary is the story of the development of what proved to be a life-long friendship with fellow Yank staffer, combat artist Howard Brodie.
