Particularly those who served in the SW Pacific area including the Philippine Islands.
I am trying to write a family book about my grandfather who served building airfields and runways in WW2. He served on several islands including Leyte, Luzon and possibly Guadalcanal. In his work he operated a truck and a bulldozer.
I thought it would be interesting to compare his experiences in the Army Air Force with a counterpart in the Japanese services which also built airfields or similar work. I am seeking personal or family experiences, military records, photos or whatever you have. I understand only English so it would need to be used in an online translator.
Once again I am searching for experiences of 1941-1945 Japanese Army or Navy Construction Battalions who served in the South-West Pacific region in WW2.
Thank you for reading this and may you have a blessed day,
