The Iwo Jima Shelling Continues

February 18, 1945

Shelling continued all day today. They are taking a helluva beating in there. Had nothing to do so we had a pretty soft day, Fellas went back to the rock today 'cause the light went out. Fired 50's at the beach and got some return fire. Wasn't bad at all.

Tokyo's broadcasts are funny as hell. They reported 3 landings repulsed already. The first day on the rock and our Iwo recons. Announcer was good too. Spoke with an "Oxford" accent. Comical as hell. Tomorrow is "D" day. We have nothing to do so we'll just lay off the island and watch things happen.
