I guess we all hear stories by WW2 veterans and some are about things that are not found in public records. I had an old friend who was a marine from 1936 and throughout WW2. He once told me a story of being on a Pacific island (Tulagi?) where a massive amount of ammunition was stored near the end of the war. The dump began to explode from unkown causes and he was witness to it. The dump burned and exploded for something like three days.
This friend has since passed away and I cannot verify his story. I was wondering if there may be someone here that may have heard about such an event, maybe hearing it from grandpa or another old vet. I am only curious about this event that's all.
