Upon completion, he was sent to Guadalcanal, where he fought for five months and contracted malaria, despite taking Atabrine daily. He recalls that all the Marines were cheering for the Americans during an air fight at Henderson Field as though it were a football game. He then went to Cape Gloucester and Pavuvu.
