Dru was able to reach inside, and got a few pictures with the camera of the contents. Someone has the key, but we got the jest of what was now stored in the "Bunker". Seems salvaged American helmets, weapons and mess gear were amongst items we were able to identify from the pictures he took. Several of the locals had built there homes near the concrete slabs, and kids were playing at the edges, but for all the years and weather, the American concrete has lasted 70 plus years, and some of the artifacts remain in somewhat "healthy" condition. The locals think the Americans and their count
ry are "rich" since our spoilage seemed so inconsequential to us, just to bring it to the Pacific, and then to dump it back into the ocean. Seems the war did not just cost us untold lives, but the raw materials that we "left" were phenomenal.
