[edit]DescriptionBattle Drills in the South Pacific, August 1942.jpg |
English: “SETTING THE STAGE FOR INVASION---A South Pacific base was the scene of this large-scale dress rehearsal for the Marine invasion of Guadalcanal Island early in Aug. ‘42. Landing boats are shown at a rendezvous with Naval units before the assault on the beach is begun, actual combat operations, which are closely simulated here, the fleet landing boats shuttle between transport ships and the beachhead being assaulted. The Japs on the beach of Guadalcanal Island saw a scene much like this when first line Marine fighters for a permanent stay.”
"D-Day at Guadalcanal and that was taken from one of the transports. The landing ships are rendezvousing there." From the Thayer Soule Collection (COLL/2266) at the Archives Branch, Marine Corps History Division OFFICIAL USMC PHOTOGRAPH |
