| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc - "The material in this book has been the actual experiences of a Fourth Marine, who relates the unvarnished truth of his life, and the life of his comrades, most of who were among the "Old China Hands" before the war." [from the preface and introduction by Margaret Woolridge]
- Summary, etc - "This is mostly an account of beach defense on Corregidor by a "China Marine." Of his service in China, Sheya comments that at first he "couldn't quite get used to the sight of seeing Marines and the pert Chinese girls walking nonchalantly down the streets," but he soon "fell in line with the rest of the crowd." After capture, Sheya was transported to Mukden in November 1942 and in May 1944 to Toyama, Japan." - Roderick Hall
