    1946 First Edition printing of this unit history of the recapture of Guam in 1944. Well illustrated with maps and photographs. The 77th "Statue of Liberty Division" operated with the 3rd Marine Division in the retaking Guam. The 77th earned the respect of their Marine counterparts. "The Army and the Marines were a closely knit team in the recapture of Guam. It is reputed that General Holland Smith was the first to refer to General Bruce's troops as the "77th Marines." Major Aplington, a battalion commander in the 3d Marines, commented on the soldiers: In their fatigues so different from our herringbone utilities and their olive drab ponchos (ours were camouflaged) so different from us . . . there was no doubt in our minds that the 77th were good people to have alongside in a fight and as a result we referred to them as "The 77th Marine Division." Less common First Edition of this immediate post-war operational history.
