Before Mr. Swirbul spoke,
motion pictures of the battles
of Tarawa and the Marshalls
were shown. He explained that
because- the British gave the
Americans the wrong data con-cerning
the depth of the water
off Tarawa, and the preliminary
softening up was insufficient,
more than 1,000 Marines lost
their lives in the taking of the
island; The lessons learned

He said that after the air had

and the terraine had been al-most

the Marshalls was a small scale

Mr. Swirbul was enthusiastic

nothing stopping it."
