Corpsmen & Wounded Marines on Cape Gloucester

During the making of HBO's THE PACIFIC, I served as a researcher with the duty of providing period film footage clips such as this one - shot on the same locations as the 10 part mini-series follows: Guadalcanal, Cape Gloucester, Peleliu, Iwo Jima and Okinawa.
Now that the series is airing you might find these short clips interesting. I appolojize for the lack of audio, yet they were only intended as simple visual aids for the Prop and Art Departments. Nevertheless, by watching them you'll get an idea of what it was like in these remote island battlefield locations.
In this clip you see wounded are carried to an aid station and then treated by Navy doctors and Hospital Apprentices-great foots of proceedure of bandaging and evacutating wounded from aid station to a jeep ambulance, late 1943-early 1944. You see some of the one piece camouflage jungle suits here-being worn by some of the litter bearers.

That is some rare footage indeed. Fantastic to see a glimpse of trying circumstances in that hellhole. To the uninitiated, read up on it. Heat, bugs, animals, enemy & death.
