Summary

[edit]
Description
English: “CLIMBING DEVICE USED BY JAPS---- Japanese snipers on Guadalcanal used simple metal cleats, attached to their shoes, to race up palm trees and fire at Marine attackers. The Leathernecks, always open to suggestions, have issued the captured cleats to Marine snipers.”

"The spikes that the Japanese used to climb the palm trees. The word was that they went up and sniped at us from the palm trees. But, I never could get any documentary evidence about that."
