All naval personnel mobilized last night.
Under a hail of bullets, we had to breach enemy lines to get to the wireless station.
At 2000 hours we reached the defensive unit EQ. [0]
And waited for further orders.
June 19 44
The nnihilation [1] of our unit is imminent.
In the evening we completed the Mayeda [2] unit.
Notes
0. Unsuccessful military acronym search. Q probably stands for ‘Quarters,’ the context suggesting a headquarters.
1. Translation in the original document.
2. There was a mythic samurai named shogun Mayeda. There is also a martial arts instructor born on Saipan by the name of Mayeda. This needs an informed footnote but the editor’s attempts to search Japanese WWII military terminology have been fruitless.
"...The nnihilation [1] of our unit is imminent..."
Not good...for him.
