U.S. soldier describes islands in the Pacific
“Hell was furry red spiders as big as your fist, giant lizards as long as your leg, leeches falling from the trees to suck your blood, armies of white ants with bites of fire, scurrying scorpions inflaming any flesh they touched, enormous rats and bats everywhere, and rivers with waiting crocodiles. Hell was the foul smelling, humid jungle that entrapped its occupants.”
