there are literally WW2 relics and examples all over this island. Lots of guns scattered across base ands a few mg bunkers on the beaches from the japanease. hoping to find a computer to uplaod pics.

My old man served with the USN Seabees and was stationed on Guam.  After the war ended one of their jobs was the construction of a large pier or breakwater.  He described in some detail how they used surplus equipment--everything from jeeps and tractors, various bits of equipment, even perfectly good aircraft--as fill, then covered it in dirt and concrete and continued moving farther out away from land in that manner.  Perhaps some of that stuff is still entombed down there waiting to be dug up some day.

My grandfather was there after Okinawa as he was in 6th Marine Division, 29th Regiment.  Then he went to Tsingtao until July 1946.   I still have his P38, belt buckle and a postcard sent from Tsingtao.
