Bolo Point is a small peninsula on Okinawa's west coast just north of the beaches where the Marines landed. This was the first area taken by U.S. troops on April 1. The Americans built an airstrip there to assist operations. Photo shows Point Bolo coast as it looks today.
Joe at first wrote "245 rounds" then wrote "50" over top.
