Hi folks,
I've received the request below and unfortunately I'm moving and all my
referance books are packed. I know Guadalcanal was early in the war for
the US... Aug 42 to Jan or Feb 43 right? But besides jeeps and the
Marine's M2-3 trucks, I'm not sure what would have been landed on the
island. Can any one fill in the details?
Please reply to Mr. VanderHyde directly as well... kchyde@comcast.net
Thanks!
Chris Davis
