Japanese Headquarters

Here is a picture of what remains of the Japanese commanders headquarters on
Roi-Namur.

The conquest of Roi-Namur had been a relatively easy operation when compared
to some of the other marine campaigns in the Pacific. At Tarawa, for
example, more than 3,300 men had been killed or wounded in 76 hours. the 4th
Division's victory came at a cost of 313 Marines and corpsmen killed and 502
wounded. By contrast, the defeated Japanese garrison numbered an estimated
3,563 - with all but a handful of them now dead. - taken from Breaking the
Outer Ring: Marine Landings in the Marshall Islands
