- Synopsis
- Mission to Guadalcanal, first published in 1945 as Guadalcanal Round-Trip, is the World War Two account of Red Cross Field Director Alfred Campbell aboard the cruiser U.S.S. Astoria, and on land on Guadalcanal and the Solomon Islands. Before his departure from the U.S., Campbell stocked up on essential supplies such as first-aid kits, extra clothing, etc., as well as on morale-building supplies for the marines about to go into combat, including playing cards, board games, boxing gloves, cigarettes, and fishing equipment, Campbell's dedication to the troops is apparent throughout the book and the marines frequently turned to him for advice and guidance while aboard the ship. Included is a Foreword by noted war correspondent Richard Tragaskis.
