ARRAY OF MARINE MEMENTOES: CAPTURED JAPANESE WEAPONS NOW DISPLAYED AT MICHAEL'S By ALLEN COLLIER, JR. A large collection of Japanese weapons, captured on the Pacific battlefronts by the U. S. Marine Corps, is now on display in the show windows of Michael Broth ers on Clayton street. : Included in this array-are many different types of mortars, swords and smaller fire arms. One large mortar, manned by a five men crew, is set up, in its firing position. This high angle fire weapon accounted for numerous casualities among our troops. Also in the mortar display is the small, frail looking, but much fear ed Jap Knee Mortar. Although this weapon is tagged with such a name it is not fired from the knee but from the ground. The Japs achieved great accuracy with this weapon and used it in support of their night ‘Banzi’ attacks. - Three different types of swords are present. The ‘Gunto’, which 1s the Japanese dress sword; the ‘Kanana’, the two-handed officers sword used in combat and the much smaller non-commissioned officers sword. The pistol collection includes the standard Jap sidearm equipment and handmade pistols used by the underground. & called the police “Nazi” and “S.
