We received a right royal welcome by our Army and Navy
 
colleagues in Australia. We are, in fact, willing to admit that,
 
on the morning following the day of our arrival in Australia, we
 
were not quite as chipper as we had been on the night before. It
 
was a great celebration.

In setting down the foregoing narrative we have made
 
every effort to present the facts on the conservative side, although
 
many of them would most easily lend themselves to sensationalism.
 
We have set down nothing not seen by ourselves or told to us by a
 
responsible officer of the United States Army, Navy or Marine Corps.
 
We believe the facts as presented give a fair picture of the enemy
 
we face in the Pacific.
