Tuhia he tomokanga mō tēnei wāhanga - I muri i te pakanga o Okinawa, i whakarite ngā kōwae o te Rōpū Tuatahi o te Moana Moana i te whakaekenga o Hapani, engari i tukua ā-ture
i te Mahuru 2, 1945, ka hurihia nga mahere. I whakatairangahia a Ross ki te taumata o te koronel i te wa ano ka tohua hei rangatira rangatira mo te 7th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division i raro i tana rangatira tawhito, te rangatira DeWitt Peck. I whakahaua te Rōpū Tuarima o te Marine ki Hopeh Province, Haina kia whakaae ki te tuku o nga hoia Hapanihi i Tientsin me tana hokinga mai ki Japan.
