摘要

This project is the first of its kind, where the concept of physical environmental adversity is applied to the history of the the Marine Division in the South Pacific, focusing on common riflemen while the unit provides the framework. Elemental Pursuits of Survival: The lst Marine Division on Guadalcanal and New Britain argues that for the the Marine Division on Guadalcanal and New Britain, 1942-44, environmental adversities were an essential component of both the experience of these battles, by the men who fought them, and to the functionality of the Division as an organization.;This project challenges long-held beliefs in military history that the role of the environment is only mere background to human events. This project also challenges important concepts dominant in the literature, particularly that racism was the defining characteristic of the Pacific War. Another major implication of this project is that environmental adversities narrowed the individual Marine's scope of existence. While immersed in New Britain's rainforests, concrete immediacies became the individual's central focus. Environmental adversities emerged as one of two primary challenges, secondary only to combat in terms of mortality and potential trauma.;Research is based primarily on correspondence with elderly veterans. Published and unpublished memories provided significant substance along with a few contemporary sources that have been unexplored until now. Archival research was conducted at Archives II of the National Archives and Record Association in College Park, Maryland and at the Marine Corps Audiovisual Research Archives and Marine Corps Archives and Special Collections, Gray Research Center, both in Quantico, VA.;Keywords World War II, The Pacific War, the war in the South Pacific, Veterans, Memory, Oral History, War and Memory, Military History, Geo-Military History, Environmental History, Cultural Geography, US Marine Corps, 1st Marine Division, 5th Marine Regiment, Soldier Experience.
