The Gilbert and Ellice Islands – Pacific War

Rare Photographs from Wartime Archives

Jim Moran
After the Pearl Harbour attack the Gilbert Islands were among the first to be occupied by the Japanese, who built a seaplane base at Butaritari. This photographic guide to the occupation and liberation traces events, demonstrating how a US attack in 1942 resulted in the islands and atolls being further reinforced before Operation Galvanic, the brief but costly US invasion of the islands, was launched the following year.
