Fightin' Marines #30 The main story, "Torn from the Pages of History: The Road Back... Guadalcanal!," depicts a Marines platoon under Lieutenant Murfee's command engaging Japanese forces attempting to come down a ridge at night with heavy losses. The Marines prepare flares and position themselves to counter the enemy advance, with Murfee ordering his platoon to dig in and hold the hill against repeated Japanese attacks to prevent them from being pushed back further into the combat zone.
