Description

Inspired by the HBO miniseries "The Pacific", Episode One in particular.

The marines deployed on Guadalcanal watch their amphibious naval ships endure Japanese naval attacks on the night of August 8th, 1942. During this scene, the soldiers of the 1st Marine division are under the false impression that Admiral Richmond K. Turner (Naval commander of the amphibious fleet) is succeeding in fending off the Japanese attackers. The grim truth would be revealed later when Turner is forced to withdraw the crippled fleet from Guadalcanal, leaving the marines to hold the island's airfield alone.

Edit: My artwork will by slowing very soon as I prepare to go active duty in the Air Force. Keep up with me on my tumblr for more military fun: armoredlt.tumblr.com/
