Island Hopping
Island Hopping
During WW II while fighting the Japanese in the island hopping campaign, the Japanese would call out Corpsman so they could shoot them when they came to their aid. The U.S. changed the name of Corpsman to something the Japanese had difficulty pronouncing. Can you please tell me what that word was? Thanks, Jim
Re: Island Hopping
I haven't heard about the Corpsmen name change, but I do recall reading how the US adopted sentry code words that contained the letter 'L' such as Lollipop or Lollygag for the reason you stated.
The gods do not deduct from a man's allotted span the hours spent in fishing.

Re: Island Hopping
Why is this labeled "Island Hopping"?
