Ocean Island vehicles
4 Attachment(s)
This has to be a rare vehicle: Ocean Island was occupied by the Japanese - looks like they left behind a Nissan 70 staff car . Where is it now ?
No specific dates on the pics. On 20 August 1945, five days after the surrender of Japan, the Japanese troops massacred the 150 Banabans remaining on Ocean Island. One man only, Kabunare Koura, survived the massacre. On 21 August, Australian troops retook Ocean Island from the Japanese. Before the end of the year, the 280 Banabans who survived the war on Nauru, Tarawa, Kosrae or Truk were resettled on Rabi Island in Fiji. |
