The battle of Guadalcanal during World War II was the first major offensive by allied forces against Japan, and many believe was the turning point in the Pacific theatre that led to the eventual Japanese surrender. Between August 1942 and February 1943, the battles were so fierce (on both land and sea) that many Americans and Japanese lost their lives, and a vast amount of ships were sunk and planes were downed. The bay outside the capital of Honiara is called Ironbottom Sound...an ode to the many ships that were sunk within view of the capital. I can't imagine what it must have been to be a Solomon Islander at the time, stuck in between two great forces with nowhere to go. Visiting the Solomon Islands today, one cannot help but see the remains of this war, even 70 years later. Trek in the jungle and you will come across old Japanese Zero planes entangled in trees. Go diving in the sound and you will see old sunken transport ships that fish have made their home. I stumbled upon this old gun that is housed at a makeshift museum in some guys yard who has collected pieces of war from all over the island. Photo by @magnumji
