Item Pocket, Okinawa 1945-04-20 (9 others)

Overview:

Company 'A' was not destined to be as fortunate as 'C' Company. The unite moved down the crest of Charlie Ridge into the heart of Item Pocket. With a platoon from 'C' Company acting as the point, soon found themselves struggling to cope with the enemy firing from a maze of pillboxes and tunnels. By 1330 in the afternoon, an hour before 'C' Company reached its line of deepest penetration, 'A' Company found itself stalled. The unit was stopped in its tracks near the nose of Charlie Ridge, where it was pinned down by heavy enemy fire.

Defender: Japanese (Elements of 'A' and 'C' Companies, 2nd Battalion, 165th Infantry Regiment)
