War Dogs

An Agat house became a surgical ward, courtesy of the personnel of the Army's 95th Portable Surgical Hospital, attached to the 302nd Medical Battalion (middle).


Marines and their "devil dogs" go toward the front during the siege on Orote Peninsula. In Guam, the dogs saved many a Marine's life by sniffing out enemy soldiers hiding in the island's caves or dense jungles. The War Dog Memorial on Naval Station honors the 25 "devil dogs" who gave their lives in the line of duty in the recapture of Guam (bottom).
