Hello!

More POW photos!

Are they Japanese soldiers or just Korean workers who were building the airfield?

Best regards, Aleks

Of the 20 captured during the opening fights on Tulagi and Gavutu-Tanambogo,only 5 were Japanese,15 were Koreans.This 25%/75% ratio on land may have been the norm there.

The biggest navy haul was 115 Japanese sailors picked up after Furutaka sank:

Great pictures! The caption for Major General Lawton Collins should read J. Lawton Collins. Who is he briefing? I wish I had a couple of crates of that M2 Ball!! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Lawton_Collins)
