Description

  • Content Description: The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with Robert Scofield. Scofield joined the Marine Corps in 1943 and received training in South Carolina and North Carolina. Upon completion, he was assigned to the Fifth Marines and sent to Guadalcanal for further training. He was wounded on Okinawa just two or three days after joining a combat outfit. Scofield was shot in the abdomen and the wrist. He was evacuated by medics, who declared that he was dying. He was air-evacuated to a hospital after he assured the flight crew that his wounds were not mortal. Scofield returned home and spent a year recovering.
