WWII question?
to clarify, his group was under attack by japanese forces on Guadel Canal
he wrote that his guys cut loose with 37mm cannon and thousands of rounds of M O ammo
could have been shaking or confused under fire
would like to talk to those with family members in pacific campaign
i am compiling stories of the recovery of the Philipines, the Soloman Islands, and the island hoppers going towards Japan.
I have hundreds of pictures and personal effects of my dad.
Want some meaning to all of this
I am 54 years old now and he is gone.
Just now able to read his memoirs. anyone with simialar stuff contact me at bighawg52@yahoo.com
maybe your dad was with mine
I'm 54 years old; I've been reading military and naval history since I was 7.
One of my degrees is on the WW2 Pacific campaign.
The very best single book ever written on the Pacific is "Goodbye, Darkness" by William Manchester....our sadly deceased premier historian of our time, who was college jock and frat boy in 1941 and ended up as a Sergeant Marine Raider.
It's on the reading list at Annapolis.
If you want some idea of how our parents were before the war, and how and what they saw in those ferocious, no quarter asked or given island by island fights, read Manchester's book.
It has literally awe inspiring chapters on Guadalcanal, a name that should be remembered with Valley Forge and Gettysburg
