  • A MARINE GOES to WAR in the Battle of Iwo Jima
    -- '-4_A A MARINE GOES TO WAR in the Battle of Iwo Jima Semper Fidelis Second Lt. Craig B. Leman, USMCR 1943-1946 Copyright © 2011 by Craig B. Leman The photograph of Camp Tarawa and all photos from the Iwo Jima operation are from the collections of the National Archives and were taken by military photographers. Second Lieutenant Craig B. Leman, USMCR, 1946. 1 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The first version of this short memoir, Recollections of Craig B. Leman, was submitted to the Oral History Project, U. S. Marine Corps at Parker Ranch in World War II. May 15, 2000. Lois Hyndman, widow of my classmate at SOCS, John Hyndman, who survived and recovered from a serious head injury at Iwo, wrote a splendid chronicle of John's Marine Corps career and suggested that I contact an Iwo Jima veteran, Marvin Veonee, who had edited her memoir of John. I sent Marvin a copy of the memoir, and he suggested we expand it and print the memoir in a little book that I could give to family and shipmates and also donate to military and university repositories that collect WWII memoirs. Marvin served on naval gunfire team 11 with the 1st Battalion, 28th Marines supporting the battalion with gunfire during the day and star shells at night. During the last ten years, he has generously and patiently helped many of us Iwo survivors write up our experiences.. I thank Marvin for his expert editorial assistance. Craig B. Leman Corvallis Oregon September 2011 Note: MV after a citation indicates that it was written by Marvin Veronee, CL= Craig Leman.
