About ‘76 I was stationed in Hawaii ( 1st Marine Brigade) and one day I was assigned a small team to inventory small arms being stored in a cave within the navy ammunition depot. While we were working away checking serial numbers and repacking a bunch of .45s (all Union Signal and Switch), I saw a door at the end of the tunnel. Out of curiosity, we fiddled with the door and eventually got it open and discovered that the tunnel went much further into the hillside and was filled with perfectly preserved pre-1942 web gear, bayonets, tools, ponchos, leggings, and several really early M-1s, Remington shotguns, and a couple of .22 training rifles.
It had been sitting there sort of like a time capsule!
I didn’t get to keep any of it.
Cool.
How did Kaneohe get to Camp Smith ? :)
