William Vandivert, 'A soundless cheer is raised by the men who are left behind. Somebody suggested a cheer and an officer added, "Cheer, but don't make a sound," because Jap patrols might have been attracted by the plane's arrival. These men still have to march through 170 tough miles cross-country to reach safety in Assam. Toward the end of May they completed their trip out.' LIFE 28 June 1943 (vol. 14 no. 26, p. 24), CC0.
