The elusive Landmark Book #120 is finally easy to find and read! Here are the stories of the valiant doctors and corpsmen whose job during World War II was to save lives. These courageous noncombatants were present at every battlefront—risking their own lives time after time—to bring medical help to their wounded comrades.

The Marines filmed the Battle of Tarawa as it was ongoing for three days. It won an Oscar for the 1945 Academy Award for best documentary short and is an excellent resource to go along with the book.

In World War II, Wyatt Blassingame was an intelligence officer with the Naval Air Corps on the islands of Tinian and Okinawa. He observed the work of medical corpsmen and doctors when he visited the sick and wounded comrades in hospitals on Hawaii, Saipan, an Okinawa.
