The 1st Marine Division 1st MarDiv landed on Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands, on 7 August , and during the next four months, the division participated in an ongoing fight to prevent the Japanese from recapturing the island and Henderson Field.
One of those legends was born on the night of 24 October when the 1st Battalion, 7th Marines, occupied defensive positions south of Henderson Field in a sector normally held by two infantry battalions. The understrength Company C anchored the center of the line and bore the brunt of at least six separate attacks by the Japanese that night. Since that night 75 years ago, Company C has been known as Suicide Charley, though the origin of the nickname and the guidon are not widely known outside the company.
This article documents the fight on the night of 24 October and the origin of the Suicide Charley legacy. This company photograph is widely used in books and publications on Guadalcanal. No publication identifies the unit pictured except in Major John L. Most of these Marines are armed with M bolt-action Springfield rifles and carry M bayonets and M packs. Two men high on the hill at left wear mortar vests, and one standing in the center has on a World War I-type grenade vest. The Marine seated at far left holds a Browning Automatic Rifle.
In December , the author interviewed Charles Ramsey, a member of Company C on Guadalcanal, who affirmed that this photograph was Company C and was taken sometime between the time the company arrived on Guadalcanal on 14 September and their first fight along the Matanikau River on 23 September. Ramsey sits high in the center of the picture with his chin resting on his left hand. Headquarters Company included a platoon of 81mm mortarmen.
A machine gun platoon was attached to each rifle company during combat. It was not unusual to have a machine gun platoon attached to a rifle company for months at a time.
