I just finished that book last month. It is the absolute best non-eyewitness account in the Pacific I have read. The author worked very hard to include as much first hand testimony as he could - and there is a lot.

Looks like a regular training day for the Engineers on Canada's Wet (West) Coast.

It reminds me of that day, as a little kid, when me and my brother took a “martial” walk into the “sh8ithole” of grandpa’s cows in his farm. We marched until we had the dung at knees height and then back, probably coming within inches of the deeper pit, where we would have died for sure.
Mom was horrified and almost fainted after understanding what we had done. Never seen her as pale as that.
But it was so funny…
