ON TO GUADALCANAL ISLAND Friday August 7 1942 Today will be a long remembered day. Today the Allies are going to make the first offensive landing of World War 11. I believe that we are all proud to be part of that move. The convoy is now entering the channel between Tulagi and Guadalcanal Islands. Our Cruisers are shelling the shore establishments. Every now and then a blast goes up from the beach, followed by black smoke. Another oil dump has gone up. The Marines are ready and set to go, and the beach guard is standing by. We are all watching the shelling, bombing and planes strafing the beach. There has been very little return fire and little damage done to us. Can it be possible that we are going to walk into this invaluable base without much work? Zero hour is now close by. Much activity now on deck. All boats being rigged out. Now they hit the water. As soon as they let go their lines they come along side the nets. The Marines are pouring down the nets into the boats. Equipment follows them down. The first wave stands off to the assembly area. Now the second wave is loading. Soon they too are off to their assembly area.

  • Visualizing Legacies of Nuclear Imperialisms
    The Politics of Invisibility: Visualizing Legacies of Nuclear Imperialisms FIONA AMUNDSEN, Auckland University of Technology and SYLVIA C. FRAIN, The Everyday Peace Initiative Pacific Nuclear Remembering and (In)visibility Invisibility is a concept scholar Teresia K. Teaiwa uses to critically examine the legacies of Oceanic nuclear imperialism and re-structure our understandings of witnessing and agency as related to the systems of nuclear imperialism imposed within the Pacific region by France, the United Kingdom, and the United States.1 In particular, the regulation of images synonymous with Indigenous experiences during the extraor- dinary proliferation of atmospheric and underground testing is central to contem- porary nuclear remembering.2 The photographs and films showing enormous glowing orange spheres—blasting from colonized waters before they burst into distinctive pyrocumulus mushroom-shaped clouds of radiative smoke and debris—have become familiar icons of various Pacific nuclear–weapons testing programs. These government-controlled images, and stories, are, in spite of what they depict, aesthetically wonderous. They obscure the tests as a launchpad of atomic war- fare to the point where an atomic explosion appears as awesome as the rising sun. Together with continuing colonial impacts and witness descriptions of the nuclear testing, the images constitute a mode of official imagery that aligns a human-produced event with the natural world, namely the sun. Theorist Elizabeth DeLoughrey suggests that this alignment was exacerbated by American Cold War propaganda that natural- ized atomic weapons “by likening them to harnessing the power of the sun, and their radioactive by-products were depicted as no less dangerous than our daily sunshine.”3 Such associations shift images and rhetoric away from the ongoing, horrific, and long- lasting realities of nuclear weapons and their testing.

This will show the guerilla warfare, trench slaughter, and naval invasion strategies that took place. Many nations fought in the area: German, British, Portuguese, South African, Indian, Belgian, and the local tribes-people, giving an abundance of figure and uniform types. The majority of the conflict is infantry-based, with some artillery, ranging from 37mm to 105mm, machine guns, and old-fashioned rocket launchers! But the main killer was climate and disease, as five men died of sickness to each man killed in action. The Region German East Africa (GEA) encompassed modern-day Rwanda, Burundi, and Tanzania. This German colony was bordered to the north by British East Africa (Kenya), to the west by the Belgian Congo, and to the south by Northern Rhodesia (Zambia) and Portuguese East Africa (Mozambique).
