During these operations, taking prisoners was rare, and death lurked at every turn. One of the makeshift graves belonging to a Marine who died on Guadalcanal bore the inscription:

And when he came to the gates of Heaven,

He will say to Saint Peter:

Another Marine reporting, Sir.

I have already served my time in hell
