Thank you for the Shakespeare, Victoria.

November 20, 1943 59 years today Marines landed at Red Beach
US Marine War Memorial
Located at the Prince Philip Park, to honor the USMC veterans of the Tarawa Battle.
Red Beach
Japanese forces occupied the island on December 9, 1941. On November 20, 1943, US forces arrived to secure the island. A heavy naval and aerial bombardment of Betio preceded the landing of 5,000 men of the 2nd Marine Division. Due to the Coral Reefs around the islands, American landing craft could not reach the shore. Close to 1,000 Americans were killed, and over 2,000 wounded during the operation. The war relics on Betio are a reminder of the thousands of American and Japanese soldiers killed there in WWII.
