BATTLEFIELD 1943 ๐ด GUADALCANAL
Sunday, July 26, 1942 ๐ด "I went back up on deck, satisfied that this was a peaceful, lazy day of rest almost everywhere on the ship. Everyone seemed relaxed, despite the fact that probably, today or tomorrow, we will know where we are headed, where, possibly, we may die or be wounded on a Japanese beachhead." - Richard #Tregaskis - Guadalcanal Diary
August 7th, 1942 ๐ด Allied forces, predominantly United States Marines, landed on Guadalcanal, Tulagi, and Florida Island in the southern Solomon Islands, with the objective of using Guadalcanal and #Tulagi as bases in supporting a campaign to eventually capture or neutralize the major Japanese base at #Rabaul on New Britain. The Japanese defenders, who had occupied those islands since May 1942, were outnumbered and overwhelmed by the Allies, who captured Tulagi and Florida, as well as the airfieldโlater named Henderson Fieldโthat was under construction on Guadalcanal.
Surprised by the Allied offensive, the #Japanese made several attempts between August and November to retake Henderson Field. Three major land battles, seven large naval battles (five nighttime surface actions and two carrier battles), and almost daily aerial battles culminated in the decisive Naval Battle of Guadalcanal in early November, with the defeat of the last Japanese attempt to bombard Henderson Field from the sea and to land enough troops to retake it.
The Guadalcanal campaign, also known as the #Battle of Guadalcanal and codenamed Operation Watchtower by American forces, was a military campaign fought between 7 August 1942 and 9 February 1943 on and around the island of Guadalcanal in the Pacific theater of World War II. It was the first major land offensive by #Allied forces against the Empire of Japan.
#Guadalcanal is one of the Solomon Islands, in the South #Pacific. Itโs known for its #WWII relics, plus dive sites like palm-fringed Bonegi Beach, with 2 two sunken Japanese wartime vessels. West of the capital, Honiara, Vilu #War Museum has memorials and WWII aircraft. Honiaraโs busy Central Market sells produce and traditional handicrafts. Cultural artifacts and war relics are on show at the National Museum.
