Pacific War Trip by Jean Barby

Here are some pictures I took back in 1979, when I went for my Pacific War trip to Guadalcanal, Bougainville, Buka and Rabaul, from new-Caledonia where I was then living. I took all those pics around Lakunai, Vanukanau and Rapopo. Yes it is me with the long hair and the moustache, I was 27 then, those were the days!

Great pictures, Jean! I guess the precious relics have now been removed and lost for posterity.
I plan a Japan-New Caledonia-Salomons trip for next year (mainly to get rid of my airline miles, haha). I will look a little different from you then, with what is left of my thin grey hair...

Merci beaucoup Jean for the brilliant photos. Why the tennis look?

Enjoy your trip Michael. I'm very jealous of the South Pacific part.
