IIRC, 1944 in the South Pacific. East end of the island. I’m thinking it was Tarawa?

I had to go to Wiki to refresh my memory. We discussed this on one of Homer_J_ Simpson's NYT WWII daily threads a while back.

It was Nov. 1943. Green Beach.

going on memory again the Japs had bunkers immediately west of the beach that were cleared with the gun hoisted over the seawall.
