Marine Landing & Withdrawal

Supported by naval gunfire they withdrew to the beach area between the tennis club and the Mendana Hotel (now the National Gallery and Prime Ministers offices). From there, they were extracted by landing craft under heavy fire from Point Cruz. Boat group leader Douglas Munro was killed and earned the Medal of Honor for bravery
