HacksawRidge
Maeda Escarpment Bastion Falls.(1945)
The fighting was especially fierce on top the escarpment on 4 May. Colonel Cooney's 1st Battalion successfully executed a
complicated demolition assault on the big cave-tunnel-pillbox network about 200 feet west of the eastern end of the
escarpment. The battalion then held the newly won ground against repeated counterattacks from the southern side. It was
estimated that 600 enemy were killed by the 307th Infantry in the fighting at the escarpment on 4 May. Slowly, on 5 May,
the reverse slope was taken and caves blasted and closed. On the night of 5-6 May the Japanese staged several
counterattacks in an effort to win back the escarpment. An especially severe attack struck the 3d Battalion, 307th
Infantry, on the regimental right. In repelling it the 3d Battalion killed 250 enemy troops, largely in hand-to-hand
fighting. During 6 May all battalions of the 307th Infantry advanced southward to the slopes of Hill 187. The battle of
the escarpment was over.
The losses in the escarpment battle had been heavy. In the 1st Battalion, 307th Infantry, no less than eight company
commanders were wounded in one 36-hour period. It had gone up on the escarpment on 29 April with a strength of about 800
men; it came down on 7 May with 324. The 77th Division estimated that it had killed upwards of 3,000 Japanese in the
7-day battle for the escarpment.
One of the most remarkable incidents of the battle for the Maeda Escarpment was the performance of Pfc. Desmond T. Doss,
a medical aid man attached to Company B, 307th Infantry. Doss was a Seventh Day Adventist and would not touch a gun, but
time after time he remained on top of the escarpment after the others had been driven off, lowering the wounded over the
side in a rope litter. He went repeatedly to within a few yards of caves to administer first aid to men who had been cut
down trying to assault the positions, and then carried these men to safety under the very guns of the enemy. For his
valor Doss later received the Congressional Medal of Honor.
