Silliker, Bill and Ruth Hey, Marine! (A True Love Story).
1995 Softcover Very Good+
"The true story of a Marine raider in WWII and the girl he left behind, interspersed with a touch of homefront USA. " 182 pages, 4 plates, pictorial wrappers, former owner's address label otherwise very good. From the back cover: "To you Navy men - stories of the USS Elliott and USS Alchiba lost off Guadalcanal, and the Wacky Mac (Admiral Turner's flat) hit off Rendova, may prove interesting. The Battle of Savo Island, and the death of the USS Astoria is another piece of Navy history. To my Marine buddies - tales of Bougainville, Emirau and Guam may bring back memories. But Hey Marine! Is also meant for the wives and sweethearts who stayed behind and dreamed of the day their men came home. Bittersweet memories of those days and a true story of how it was for your 'special' Marine is shared by Ruth. The Sillikers left the rush of Boston living and moved to Maine in 1947 where they operated the Ocean Park Restaurant until 1978. Two children and several grandchildren enrich their lives. It is hoped that Hey, Marine! Will be their heritage. " B19-4; 182 pages
