My dad served in Carlson Raiders. Nickname Horse. I have three questions.
1. Are there any books on Guadacanal?
2. A few weeks ago Col. Carlson's daughter phoned my mother. Do you have a way that I can get in touch with her?
3. I have a Japanese canteen that is inscribed, Carlson Raiders, Guadacanal, December 7, 1942. Does anyone know the story behind this canteen?

Thanks for the help

thank you for your entry here.
You will find several previous entries here together with Carlson's grand daughter's e-mail addy. Just scan down the page.

There are numerous books on Guadalcanal.

Click on Gunny G's Carlson Page atop this mainpage to take you back to the Carlson page where there is much info, and a listing of books and other webpages.

Thanks for the info. I will look into it. I don't know much as my Dad did not talk about the war very much.

Thanks

Rick
