GUAM (UP) – United Press writer E. G. Valens was wounded on Okinawa Monday while in the front lines with the 6th Marine Division.
Valens was with the Marines on Kuwanga Ridge, where the Leathernecks were trying to flush some Japs out of a cave. The Japs were armed with satchel charges.
Apparently, the cave was filled with Jap ammunition. When explosive charges were thrown into it, the whole cavern blew up.
A large fragment of coral hit Mr. Valens on the side of the face, inflicting a severe wound. He was expected to be hospitalized for about a week.
