simultaneously Australians defeated the japs at the battle of Milne Bay

They are truly the best of the best. God Bless Them All.

The southern coast of Guadalcanal is a piece of integrally hostile landscape : Mountains plunging directly into the sea.

Rather saucy detail : The Japanese & the 🇺🇸 Marines were just one creek apart & both sides bathed 🧼 in plain view of each other, & to spice it the Japanese used perfume soap to taunt the 🇺🇸 Last & not least they left on the Marines side mats printed with Oriental beauties Hefner-style. The 🇺🇸 let them rot where they were. The Japanese had yet to learn the meaning of USMC.

In 1938, an Englishman 😰 dreading the coming war in Europe bought a coconut 🌴 plantation there hoping to weather away the storm … He ended up a coastwatcher.

Excellent thank you 👍

The Woolstenhulmes are the best

Most of the Coast Watchers were Australians and New Zealanders. They were all already based on these Islands as Planters or in the Civil Service and joined the Navy at the beginning of WW2 which was in 1939 well before Pearl Harbor. They had good relations with the Indigenous people and New Guinea at the time was an Australian protectorate post WW1 and the Solomons was a British protectorate. After Singapore fell the Australian government realised that any forward protection of Australia from the North would require early intelligence from the outposts.

Thank you for this wonderful video.

The Jeremiah O’Brien is priceless! Thank God they were able to save her from the fire!

Thank you for the work you do. I was with Lima and H&S company thru out my deployment. We had just pulled the UN out of Somali and were heading to Perth,Australia. I had my boy who was very anxious one night and wanted to sneak out on deck to get a smoke. He asked me to come along, but I was just exhausted that day. I told him don't go, we'll go out later. At first, he said OK, but he then changed his mind and didn't tell me he was going up. Well, I passed out asleep and morning came. I couldn't find him in his rack, and morning muster was fast approaching. During muster, I advised my Ssgt that I could not locate him. We'll my Ssgt thought was covering for him. Well, when nobody could find him, they played the tapes. The seamen (actual rank in the navy) that was supposed to be on deck duty that night for got into trouble for half azz doing his job and nobody noticed my brother via security video. My boy had fallen off the ship. He didn't anchor the heavy outer door, and in one of those sharp turns, the ship made,the door knock him over. That always gets me cause we never found him.

Steaks are always getting higher.

i'm glad they restored all of it its a part of space history

Love the AC/DC shirt!

When it sinks in what "non-renewable" means you know oil is going away, (and will in fact become economically impossible without being literally gone,) and you understand in addition that all today's so-called "renewable" technologies are not renewable at all but rather just "rebuildable" provided the oil economy they are dependent on is chugging along you realize horses are coming back in our lives. The math is not difficult. It's just something most people don't want to acknowledge.

I so want to see The Parting of the Ways and 40 mile desert.

My dad was a marine there, he didnt talk much about it tho I remember one time Guadalcanl historical report was on tv and at about 12 yrs old I asked my dad were you there and he just said "sure". I think he was in 11th Marines 5/4 battalion because that was the canon unit based in N.C.

Living history is wonderful.a great tool to teach and produce timber

6:39 except for the Australian's before them at Milne Bay right? Classic yanks.

I'm in my 61st year of working with horses and still enjoy it, now mainly working them on our market garden farm.

Thank you for this documentary. Semper Fidelis to our Marines who served there.

I wish they (the people who had a say in what happened to her) treated the Queen Mary as good.

too bad she's moored in commiefornia

Keep the old girl going worth every dollar. Best regards from Australia

The Japanese were the invaders. The Marines were the liberators.

Guadacanel has a great war relic museum full of stuff from the battle and to this day they are still finding stuff in the jungle

I would love to have a piece of the boiler tubes, how do I get it ??

No one who calls these brave & heroic men “losers” should ever lead the country they died for.

When I visited in 1976 Japanese skulls were kept hidden under their helmets at a museum. When asked about them the keeper simply said something like “They came and killed many of our people so I don’t care!”

What an eye opening story, thanks for sharing this piece of history.

I was in this room recently and I can say they did a wonderful job. I almost cried when the room lit up. Truly a masterpiece of restoration. Side note I met Gene Kranz and Ed for Gene’s book signing. Gene was the most gracious man I ever met and Ed was hilarious. When my wife and I met Ed he’s was playing jokes on us the whole tour.

The Admirals made some wrong strategies in the Pacific which resulted in the loss of thousands of American lives. This led to General Douglas MacArthur to conceptualize a new strategy in his theater. He avoided the big Japanese bases in those islands. He only attacked their flanks with little strength. He blockaded the entrance to the big Japanese Bases. With no food and medicine supplies, thousands of Japanese died of starvation and diseases, not by battles. The rest were weakened by the result and eventually gave up. MacArthur was a genius. Unlike the Admirals in the Pacific and the other Generals in Europe who resorted to the old school strategy of confrontations which resulted in the deaths and massacres of their men. In the Battle of the Bulge alone, more than 80,000 US soldiers perished under George Patton. Eisenhower was the big boss. From Australia to the Philippines, General MacArthur only lost 20,000 men. Air, Land, Sea combined.

Very enjoyable; well done ;)

Awesome way to live get rid of new technology leave it behind

Thank you so much for the video. It shows how much the apple mean to my family. The Walkers.

I always get a lump in my throat when I watch the old videos of the Apollo Moon landings.........

Just came across your channel, subscribed immediately. GOD bless you all

I know they used a projector for the recreation - but the original display technology was electro-mechanical ruclips.net/video/N2v4kH_PsN8/видео.html

that was awesome video I have been thru there a few times and rode the CZ last summer and saw it all again. I had rode the original CZ when friend and I took a tour by train and it had a different route thru the Sierras with Feather River Canyon. But I was very familiar with the route they use now, rode thru there 3 times with parents and friends on City of St. Louis a UP/SP combined train before Amtrak. It was great to see Donner Lake again and all the snowsheds and tunnels. I grew up in a rail family, Mom was 3rd generation in her family, met Dad at company picnic and married him who worked for same RR she did, the old Frisco RR, now part of BNSF. So we rode a lot of trains when I was a kid as Dad got free passes to ride , this was before Amtrak.

There ain't no atheist in rubber rafts!!!!

Thank you for the video I guess in 2023. I'm 1ofthefewpeoplestillhuntingthesetrails

I don't know does trails West even do anything anymore? Do they still exist?

Wish I had spent more time with Marvin Brisk before I moved to SW Oregon to be with my daughters. He was game to put my mustang mare in with his team while working once. Fun. I want to go back. I lost both of my daughters.

Bravo !!

Chain those logs as close as you can to the log cart, and when you start pulling, it will lift the front of the logs for easier pulling... plus better control when the logs aren't stretched so far out behind.

That’s the KSP on ultimate level

Let's go Oz!

Looks like those "One Plane Readout" digit projection displays are so rare to find and/or expensive these days that they had to settle with cutout prints in place of them.
