“It was Februai7 2, 194b at 2

that I will not soon forget, and we
were asleep in our ; fox-holqjs,” re
counts John: B. Longley, class of
’43.
“I was sound aSleep when sud

my eyes and become instantly wide
awake. Call it chance, sixtlf sense,
or call it the work of God, anyway,
whatever caused me to. awaken
saved my ilfe. For there framed
above me at the foot Of my trench
stood the largest Jap solajfer that
I have ever seem with a saber
raised and ready to strike.?
“Simultaneously, I pulled up my
legs and reached 1 for my .45 auto

up my pistol but struck my leg
throwing off my ajjtt. As I trigger

to say that was his last act.”
“They gave me first aid, but
I didn’t reach the hospital until
late that afternoon.” He vraa
gradually worked towards the
rear and finally was returned to
the United States.
For jtlle next three years, Long-
ley was transferred from one gen
eral hospital to another, aiid num
erous operations were performed
on his right foot in an attempt to
repair the tendons. Though he fin
ally regained 1 normal use of his
feet, he could not go back on active
duty. He resigned his commission
at Letterman Hospital, San Fran
cisco, California, in December 1947
and was placed on inactive duty
with the rank of captain.
After visiting his folks at Gid-
dings, Texas, Longley decided*’to
