Please would you give me a link or a source on this. I have heard various versions of the bauxite story before but have never found evidence for it.

I was doing my 2 weeks of reserve duty in Gulf Port last September. Several of us wondered what the gigantic mound of weird looking dirt was for, and we were told that it was bauxite that France had sent after WWII. Aparently it is not used in aluminum production much anymore, and so is not worth doing anything with. I don't have any other source for this, just what my LPO told us.
