A wonderful gift from Roy Chaffin at RCS panels!..New Caledonia,.1942, It was located south of Guadacanal and 680 miles northeast of Sydney,..Close to Australia...Too close...
The island was not a typical South Pacific island. It had important nickel and chromium mines and much of the output was exported to Japan before the War.
A few years later,"CALEDONIA"..may had inspired this song! ;D
