734. [Diary] World War II Soldier's Diary and 3 Hand Drawn Maps: Company D, 169th Infantry. New Caledonia and Russell Island (Solomon Islands), 1942-1943. 94p. (in ink & pencil, very legible). Small worn ring binder. 19cm. 3 hand drawn (or traced) maps (2 color) folded & laid in. Paperclip damage on maps & some diary leaves. This diary begins on Oct. 1, 1942 as the soldier leaves San Francisco on a troop ship & covers time in New Caledonia and on Russell Island (2/21/43-7/3/43) in the Solomon Islands between Guadalcanal and New Georgia. The last entry, for Sat. July 3, 1943, was, "Leaving Russell Island for Rendova New Georgia on L.C.I. Ready for action." It is our understanding that this soldier was killed in the war. Up until July, 1943 this soldier evidently did not see any real "action" -- he just got nervous waiting. The entry for April 9, 1943 was, "We got orders that the Jap's are going to invade us. Everybody is busy. The officers are running around like a bunch of babies. Barb-wire is strung up along the beach & now we are just waiting for them to come. There are Japs on this Island now because our telephone wires are cut & they listen to our messages so everyone is leary now & Ready." The next entry (on Sunday, April 11) begins, "Went to church today." The 3 maps show (1) Russell Island's location in the Solomon Islands, (2) Russell Island, and (3) Company D's location on Russell Island. Some Japanese locations are shown on the maps. 325.00
