Historical Background:
Landed unopposed on Red Beach, north of Holtz Bay, the 1/17th Infantry advanced slowly in Addison Valley towards its objective, X Hill. But Japanese were more rapid and settled combat positions prepared in advance on the hill. On the 12th of May, US infantrymen attacked X Hill with the support of 105mm howitsers of A battery, 48th Artillery Battalion. In spite of heavy losses, they succeeded to occupy the ridge in the evening and prepared the defense against possible Japanese counter-attacks.
