Title	An Experiment on Guadalcanal
Subcollection	Field Artillery in World War II: 1939-1945
Description	During our training in New Caledonia preparatory to arriving on Guadalcanal, experiments were made to determine the best method of moving 105-mm. howitzers without the aid of prime movers. Reports from the fighting front indicated that motor transportation was scarce and that most of the movement of artillery had to be accomplished by hand power. Various tests were conducted to learn the most feasible way of hauling guns up a sandy beach and across country.
