UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS RAIDERS
A Personal Account

LaVerre "Buck" Daley

M. J. Clark Publisher. NEW copy; trade paperback. SIGNED BY AUTHOR. A Nebraska country boy inspired by a former Marine and the Pearl Harbor attack, sought high adventure by enlisting in the Marine Corps and volunteering to serve with the 4th Battalion of the legendary United States Marine Raiders. He was trained with the 4th Raiders by Colonel James Roosevelt a veteran of the 2nd Marine Raider Battalion and the Makin Island raid. His memoirs in spectacular detail as published in this volume, are indicative of the profound impact of combat on this impressionable young volunteer. Lavarre (Buck) Daley found his high adventure in combat operations against the Japanese enemy with the 4th Raiders, at Wickham Anchorage, Oleana Bay, Vangunu Island and at Enogai Inlet, New Georgia Island. Following the Raider operations at Bougainville, the character of the war had changed and the Raiders were reorganized as the 4th Marines, successors to the 4th Marine Regiment destroyed by the Japanese in the Philippines. Buck participated in further combat operations at Emirau, Guam and finally at Okinawa.
