Duane Nelson: April 25, 1944

Duane “Swede” Nelson served in the Marines from 1943 to February 1946, and he participated in some of the biggest and bloodiest battles of the Pacific theater. He kept three small diaries documenting his experiences.

We are still out at the firing range. I wrote 2 letters while I was waiting to fire rapid fire. We finished at noon and went swimming and one fellow drowned.
