Seventy-five years ago today, on 07-August-1942, American Marines landed on Guadalcanal, an island in the Solomons. Japanese naval troops had occupied the island to block communications between the United States and Australia. The Marines quickly captured an airfield which the Japanese had been building. The fight for the island lasted six months in miserable conditions.
The movie
Guadalcanal Diary was made and released the next year.
