Wonderfull Jon, yep im sure that was them, As long as one of us has them, and we back up all our TOTW files photos and maps for future family members, good thing is if any body outside our group trys using any of our hard work, for money or fame we know where they got them. Any thing i can do here in NZ ( at moment ) for you Jon, Sempa Fi Mac

Hi Jon
I hope somebody did. The NARA file he sent is still there, just the above folder has been moved or deleted by owner, is all it says. Hey ive lost a folder years ago, which contained photos of Shibazaki's bunker, pre battle, got to be honest a tear fell. Well thank you, much love and respect to you all K Harrison 4

Hi Gunny, yes totally agree its Red 1. Another photo maybe by same person in same area, has always made me wonder, " what the heck "
I know some Maries were told the landing would be a cake walk, so who thought a game of tennis would be grand. 6

Ive got same problem, photos everywhere, did try putting them in folders, ie Beaches, Prebattle, post battle, Tanks, New Zealand, just got to much lol, gave up that idea lol.
Re: your 2nd pic, my instant thought, was ontop of the command bunker, looking towards west, with the eastern side Bonnyman's bunker in shot, with beach and pier in frame. So i looked at all command bunker pics i have and dosn't seem to be anything around it as high to get that shot. Im triple checking. We have all seen many photos of command bunker looking at its southern side, with knocked out Jap tank ( Norman Hatchs kitten hideout lol ) and steps leading to the top. Ive included a shot looking at the northern, and eastern side of Shibasaki's bunker. Again nothing around, to get the hight of you photo shot. Again just a guess. Warmest Regards 10

There seems to be a HUGE collection from the indy. Tarawa, Saipan, Marshalls etc. Must of been a honest mistake, nothing in collection seems to be in order.
Photos are watermarked by the Navy. Nice shot of the pier ive never seen before, sorry just took photo of the screen. Sorry. Warm Regards All 14

Tarawa Talk / Tanks On Tarawa« on: October 06, 2023, 12:24:36 am »
Hi Everybody
Stumbled across these photos on a site, claiming these Tanks to be on Tarawa. One with a Skull on top, and White Stars. The other one seems to fit better. Ideas?, Thoughts. |
