The Pacific War, #6

TexasNick over www.pacificfans.com posted a link to a beach landing for the Pacific War series, now filming in Australia.

I would love to link up to this, but alas. Visit the link above, read the article, and check out the picture. Sadly, there is only one, and it’s not that big. This section of the article caught my eye:

Rocky Point residents yesterday told of waking to the blood-curdling screams of an invasion.

“It’s not too bad,” said local Angela Pringle, who lives just metres from the beachfront film set.

“If I close my windows I can’t hear the bombs or screams or anything,” she said.

Location manager Nick Daubeny said special attention had been paid to details.

“The minute we lose the authenticity, the suspension leaves the viewers and I think that’s what really made Band of Brothers,” he said.

Angela! Get your backside over there with a camera and take some pix and put them up for the rest of us who’d liked to see a little more.

Dale Dye has a new entry as well, dated AUG 18. He writes about the progress of filming:

I had a few General A.A. Vandegrift moments this week when we brought five period LCVPs ashore in an assault line and watched the bow ramps splash down to disgorge about 200 World War Leathernecks. What a rush something like that is for an old Marine warhorse!
