Thunder
in the Morning is Homer H. Grantham's account of a Marine Corps
six-man naval gunfire spotting team in a joint assault signal company
participating in two of the four battles fought by the First Division
of the U. S. Marine Corp during World War II in the Pacific. The
gunfire spotting team had two radio men, two telephone men, a scout,
and one officer as the spotter. The team landed in the third wave
of the Peleliu assault and called in covering fire using ship-to-shore
radio communications with destroyers, cruisers, and battleships
during eight days of heavy fighting.
