1st Marines Guadalcanal

Comments: I'd like to know if anyone out there who survived Guadalcanal and served under General Vogal would remember my Dad S/SGT Allen Janise from Louisiana.

Dad told me of an Ice plant that the enemy had control of on a hill above the airfield, also of the Lunga river. Prior to the enemy attempting to regain possesion of the airfield, his units' communication was cut off and he knew where the lines ran to & from, so he went out ahead of the front lines under fire and restored communications. He was put in for a field commission and the silver star, but never recieved it as the requests were destroyed in transit and he felt it wasn't meant to be and never pursued it.

He later was injured when the straphing and bombing of the now occupied airfield was held by the Marines. He was medevace'd to New Calidonia.

Just wanted to see if anyone remembered him.

Thank You

Comments: Since he lived most of my life in Korea and Okinawa my only contact was through letters, and they were few. I have very little in sence of who he was or where he came from. I know he was from Walpole, MA and a little about his life while he was still maried to Dorthy Brown Trahan, but alas it all falls short of who he really was. Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

John McGuire USN corpsman

Comments: Looking for stories/info on my father John McGuire. He was a corpsman attached to the 2nd battalion 1st marine reg, 1st marine div. He didn't speak much about his experiences. I do know from his records that he participated in the assault and seizure of Inchon, the capture and securing Seoul, and the Wonsan-Hamhung-Chosin campaign. I do know that he received a Purple Heart- it seems he was tending a wounded marine when a grenade was thrown. He layed over the marine to protect him and received shrapnel(?) to the left side of his neck and left arm. My father was a good man, very strict on us 16 kids, but still good at heart. Just curious as to what he did,saw etc. that molded him into the man I knew. Thank you Mary C. McGuire Daughter of a corpsman!
