Hello!

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

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)
