I can't find a clip of it online, but Ray Harryhausen made a 10 minute film called 'Guadalcanal' during WWII. He worked with Frank Capra and Dr. Seuss, Major Ted Geisel, making propaganda and instructional films during the war. It's fun to see a bamboo hut being made in stop motion animation. The short film is a special feature on the Harryhausen Chronicles.

On rubylane.com there is a sun helmet that was used in Guadalcanal on sale for $447. http://www.rubylane.com/item/160319-3559/US-NAVY-Guadalcanal-WW11-Fibre
