Guadalcanal and Tulagi - Part 2
Manage episode 384852204 series 2576851
This episode follows the approach of Transport Group Yoke towards Tulagi. The initial bombardments by supporting aircraft and naval vessels set the stage for the Marines' landing. Once ashore, we'll discuss the challenging terrain of Tulagi and the tactical advances of the 1st Marine Raider Battalion and 2/5, as they navigate the island's ridges and confront enemy forces.
I’ll release images to help visualize the battlefield. They can be found on our social media sites or the episodes page below:
