"Guadalcanal Diary" (1943) is an American war movie about the Battle of Guadalcanal that had taken place the year before. Told from the point of view of a war correspondent, it concentrates on the US Marines who had fought in the battle and gives the backgrounds of some of them. The film starts in late July of 1942 with the Marines approaching the island Guadalcanal, which was occupied by the Japanese. The film portrays both battles and quieter moments in the Marine's lives, like their reading letters.
