Victory At Sea - Melanesian Nightmare - Episode 13

The Allies are victorious in New Guinea as they repel the Japanese. They thus bring the fight through a series of "island-hopping" offensives using a new ship -- the slow but vital LST. The price paid is great on both sides, but as Japanese casualties increase in their never-ending losing battle against the Allied onslaught, their homeland only hears news of their victory being broadcast by radio. We see also just how Japan's people are suffering in defeat through a very touching scene of a massive funeral at the conclusion of this segment, providing a balance of how universal grief truly is.

[@musicalsman66]

Nice to see that everyone likes the music as much as me. It's always worth noting how little Richard Rodgers composed for the 26 VAS episodes--just his twelve "themes" (the opening-credits music is one of them) written at the piano. Robert Russell Bennett used those melodies every which way in doing all the orchestra scoring, but ended up composing many hours of music entirely on his own. In this episode (#13), these are the only times you hear a Rodgers melody (other than the first minute of credits): at about 6:10, a few measures played by the trumpet; a little of the title music at 11:44; at 12:48 Bennett transforms another Rodgers tune into a waltz; Rodgers's "Guadalcanal March" tune for about 90 seconds starting at 15:07--and then again at 24:53 to the end (half a minute or so). Everything else--all the other marches, "Oriental" music, all the tense battle music--is entirely by Bennett. (The "arrangers" of Rodgers's Broadway shows--including Bennett--did a fair amount of the same thing; but that's another story .)

Larry Hewitt The greatest generation didn’t speak of their service. Reason? They grew up with sacrifice as a way of life through the Depression. Sacrifice was taken for granted as doing one’s duty. The one fault of this generation is that somewhere along the line, it was decided to give their children an easier life. The result was the Boomers, self-serving, rebellious, headstrong, proud, materialistic, privileged braggarts. The fortunate few who didn’t fall into the trap were the Boomers who were truly out of step and kept this country going. We were those who enlisted for Vietnam instead of protested, draft dodged, and ran away to Canada. Thank you, all brave men and women, for your unsung service! Veterans Day, 2019.

My father-in-law was a member of the Greatest Generation who enlisted in the Army shortly after Pearl Harbor and was among those who landed in a tank unit on the shore of New Guinea. As I see the photos of the Sherman tanks embarking from the LSTs, I wonder if he was a member of the crew of one of them. For the rest of his life the skin on his back showed the scars from some sort of jungle disease contracted on New Guinea. He later was involved in the invasion of the Philippines. He and all four of his siblings, including a sister, served in various branches of the service in World War II and one of the family jokes was that as as a serviceman in the Army he served more days at sea than a brother in the Navy. I forget how many weeks he was on a crowded troop ship going out to New Guinea but it was a slow transport, zig-zagging all the way out to the war zone. Meanwhile his brother had the luck to be on the staff of a Navy Admiral and flew from island to island in the Pacific. We owe so much to that generation and one of his brothers, a bomber pilot in the Air Force in Europe, didn't make it back.

+Charles Salmans I wish the newer generations of Americans would learn from Greatest Generation. They understood the meaning of self sacrifice for the greater good.

Love your story, my father, named Charles, was a Second Lt in the AirCorp and served in the South Pacific theater until his B-24 went down just off the coast of a Philippine island. Three men, including my dad's best man at his and mom's wedding, were killed in the crash, and the remaining 6 were rescued by native fishermen (You'll note that there were 9 on board instead of the usual ten. The remaining crewman was terribly I'll and the mission went one short. He and dad were life long friends). Another man died a couple days later from injuries. My father had lost an eye and said that the agonizing pain was nearly maddening. They were picked up by navel patrol 5 days after the crash. My dad raised six kids and stayed married to mom until he passed in 01 (60 years). We are losing them, all these heroes that literally put their nation first. I pray for our Nation.

Timothy Dingman Same here, although I wear ear buds so as not to annoy my nephew and fine family! Yes, there were plenty of cigarette commercials for this series. It was simply good business in a different era. Servicemen up through very recently liked their smokes. I guess today’s equivalent would be a free Juul or a blunt? Our current young people act as if smoking a cig is a moral crime. Every generation has its “permissible” vice. No big deal, really! Just human nature. BTW, I don’t smoke, never have, don’t vape, very rarely drink, don’t do weed or any mind altering drugs. I’m 68 and never really indulged in so-called Boomer vices.

I remember the cigarette ads, too. John Cameron Swayze's TV nightly news program was sponsored by Camel (nonfiltered!) Cigarettes. At the end of each newscast, Mr. Swayze would announce how many cartons of Camels were being donated to servicemen in military hospitals who were convalescing from battlefield wounds.
