I saw the film The Fighting Sullivans in (I think) 1944 when I was nearly six and living in Wales with my mother and grandmother as my father was in the army in Burma. My first meeting with him that I can remember was on VE day when he came home on debarkation leave but he did come back so I was lucky. The ending of the has stayed with me ever since. I now know a Captain RN who held a post in the Soloman Islands and who dived on USS Juneau the ship on which the five brothers served and died. We must never forget those who didn't come back or who came back "with wounds which would never heal until the breath was out of the body" so we could live in freedom.

Thanks for the episode. Great to see the channel continues to grow. Small offering for the algorithm.

Brutal. Simply Brutal.

Most of these stories end way before they should 😭

The Americans had a great deal to learn at this point.

Would the pronunciation be Abe, or Ah-bay? I keep seeing a Japanese Abe Lincoln.😂

The sad story of America’s loss of the battle of Guadalcanal. Or so I surmise, from the given narrative.

i was there..i got court marshalled cause i kept sneaking up to the pilot house to toot the horn.......i ate all the crayons on the ship too

First.

Callaghan is the worst commander in American history. Why he refused to let the ships fire on the enemy was just ignorant. Even though he died from his stupidity and cowardice the USA gave him a Medal of Honor for some reason. Today i view any Medal of Honor winner with doubt of their actual accomplishments.
