Glad everyone likes the pics! Just don't let me catch you making money off them
Anyway, here are a few more pics. The first is the front side of the Japanese HQ building. And the Japanese did build this thing; it wasn't left over from the Germans as one suggested as a possibility. I'll post some photos of other buildings that are still standing.
In this pic you can get a better appreciation of the attack that was unleashed on this building. Granted it was bombed by planes and Naval guns before the initial invasion by U.S. Marines.
The second pic is I found rather interesting. Being that Roi was an airfield - air-base for the Japanese as well as Americans when they took it over, there were many parts of planes and wrecked planes littering the island. Well, someone got the ingenious idea to construct a coral "sculpture" out of the muffler parts of planes. These parts were welded together to form this coral head you see in the picture. Loose pieces of these muffler parts are still found.
The third pic is of a propeller that has somehow managed to survive intact, though a bit worse for wear
Perhaps this is part of the same plane the wing pictured above is from, for ony a few hundred yards separate both their current respective resting spots
The fourth pic is of the tenth stop in the "Roi-Namur WWII battlefield tour"...I start day shift in two weeks
Once there I'll go around and take pictures of all the stops on this battle field tour and do up some kind of a virtual tour for you guys here online!
The fifth pic is a cropped close up of pic four! I'll do this close up cropping too for the "virtual battlefield tour"!
Also, I'll start getting out those coke bottles too. I'll reply to your PM once is has been sent.
