I have a bell which my father removed from the first boat that landed at Guadalcanal. Does anyone have any info on this battle or interest in authenticating my bell?
Did landing boats have bells?
Here is something to read up on the actual battle.
However, WhiteCamry asks a good question.
I rather suspect this is another one of those things where family tradition re-writes history.
Does the bell have an inscription of any kind on it ?
That might allow us to trace the history of the vessel it came from.
