Dressing Station on Rendova -- Sloping in the mud under the palm trees on Rendova Island, Navy Physicians and hospital corpsmen gather round the litters to dress the wounds of Marines carried back from the battle lines during the attack which swept the Japs from the Island and gave U.S. forces a base for the attack which captured Munda point airbase.
