#1: Okinawa 75 years ago Author: Bungarra, Location: Murchison region, West AustraliaPosted: Fri Sep 11, 2020 11:07 pm — Came across this piece about the bloody battle of Okinawa and child soldiers.
Well written by Archaeology Bulgaria on the 75th anniversary of the Battle.
The battle raged between the months of April, May, and June 1945.
Some very interesting information, pics and diagrams of the tunnel system on Mt Suribachi and other landings on the island group.
I do not think I have posted it before... forgive me if I have. :wink:

In fact, it was the largest naval force to have ever been assembled for battle."
