📝 🔒Field Note: Guadalcanal – Battle for Gavutu & Tanambogo Islands, 7-9 August 1942
Gavutu & Tanambogo Islands, 8 August 2026. I am exploring the site of some of the most bitter fighting of the entire Guadalcanal Campaign, and it happened right here over 7-9 August 1942, While the landings at Beach Red on the big island of Guadalcanal had gone ahead unopposed, the landings at Tulagi and Gavutu & Tanambogo were both met with ferocious resistance.
