The pictures here are snapshots taken by PFC Hicks USMC and his brother (Unknown) while in the Guadalcanal Campaign, August 1942 - February 1943 and in Battle of Tarawa an Atol in the Gilbert  Islands in the South Pacific Circa 1943. (Her Father had remained silent about for 63 years). Semper Fi

Pictures were provided by Elizabeth Hicks (Daughter) after her father passed away in 2004 at 82 years old in Middletown, Ohio and she came across them in his personal effects. This graphically depicts the horror of war.

These pictures speak for themselves! They do not need narratives.
