Bill Weathersby, Jr.'s journey in World War II. This blog is a time line, based on records, journals and sometimes guesses regarding my father's service...beginning with the United State's entry into the war, Daddy's attempts to join the Army Air Corps, to enlisting with the Marines and his experiences until returning home. 2018 marks 75 years since he started down the path to being part of The Greatest Generation.

June 9, 1944 - Banika
Daddy, and his battalion were transferred to Guadalcanal, then Banika Island in June 1944.
There aren't many photos of the U.S.M.C. in Banika and I can't find any information online as to what they did there, but the assumption for me is more training and boredom.
